Receive Message as String

Kyle Yan's icon

Hi All:

I'm writing my external object in C hoping to receive any message(even with spaces in it) and transfer the message into one string so that I can do data process in C. I have looked at some chapters in MaxAPI and did some test. Seems max likes to take the message and transfer into atoms which I do not need. I just need the raw data. Can anyone help? Thanks~
