I want to add a comma after the first element of a list

[flowdesigner]

I have tried zl slicing and appending and everything. Please help

It's for line/line~/curve~, isn't? I would say that 99% of the time this is not what you want to do, using trigger or a wildcard in a message box ($1), will do the trick. Anyhow here is an example:

But why would you want that? Are you aware, that a comma in a message box has a certain meaning in Max?
I wanted to reply that in 100% of the time this is not what you want to do. I am sure that this statement is more true than the 99% of emannuel_2, though we could argue that purely displaying purposes could cover eventually 0.1% of all the cases...;-)

Hi Stefan,

It was for making an envelope like this:

A message box with one comma is simply the same as two messages, sent out in a specific order:

Thank you,

It feels good when my brain is making new connections
