Hello guys

I want to send a word (string) to a server in Processing. How do I do this in Pure Data, using the OSC protocol?

This is the code in processing:

Can you give me a tip?  
Thanks

Hi! Somehow your code is missing so I can only give you high level comments…

For processing you can use oscP5 and the included examples show you basically everything you need. For PD if I remember correctly it slightly depends on the distribution you installed (vanilla or extended). This is a bit out of scope of this forum but try `udpsend` `udpreceive` and see if you can find a help file
