Re: help with strings needed!

if you have a list of words that it will always be then you can pass the received word through a string compare and test for 0 (matching) and pipe that conditional into a counter. If any of the words are unknowns then you may have to investigate a more robust javascript, perhaps someone else here could assit with that.

I think I understand what you are asking.

Just select the patches you want to "compress" and press the Create Macro button at the top of the Editor window.

Ah, after re-reading your post I think you mean a way to lessen the tedious work of creating all the patches... I think JavaScript is the only way to automate that. Someone with more experience might be able speak about this.
