I attempted to write to files the contents of arrays using the message object, however, when I reference $1-pitch.txt inside a message box (as a filename I wish to write to), there's a problem. $1 no longer pertains to the name I gave to the 'paattern', it pertains to the message context itself (I'm not exactly sure to what).
$dollars in messages and $dollars in objects inside of an abstraction (pattern.pd) are two different things. $1,$2,$3.. in a message always get the values of incoming messages.
[Hi Jarek( ---> [$2 $1(---> [print] prints Jarek Hi
The solution is to store the abstractions argument in a float or symbol object and send this one to the write message.
