NetSend (Network String) possible bug?

vvvv beta question
1

Hi devs,

I’ve just been trying to exchange Data between PD and VVVV, and a Spread of Strings was recieved as one single String. I changed the Intersparse-Pin inside the module to “Space”, and everything worked fine.

Greetings,

Alex

Hello Alex,

thank you for finding. It’s fixed now and is coming with the new alphas/beta.

A special care should be taken when sending strings to PD using the NetSend (Network String).
Spaces in the strings should be escaped with the backslashes, so " " becomes "\ ".

If you want to send “Volume 35” it’s ok if you want PD to unpack it as “s f” (a string and a float), but if you want to send “My Volume 35” it should be “My\ Volume 35” in order to PD sees the “My Volume” as one atom.

There will a be a small girlpower for that.

Best,
Anton
