[PD] parameter substitution.

Hi some,

Recently i used pd in generative approaches (e.g.: A patch to create mixer array patches) and implemented a simple parameter substitution external using flext:

• Right inlet accepts a list of symbols called parameters.

• Left inlet accepts lists and substitutes all occurences of &1, &2, ... by the respective parameters.

• Result is written to the outlet.

  (have a better one? wanna get my source? - email me)

BTW: Should the resulting symbols be converted to other types if appropriate (float, $-variable, ...)?

This is what i can do now but i want more. *So my question is*:

Is there a regex substitution external out there? (i already know the shell and python externals ;^)

Greetings

PS: exec pd, zexy ld, python, shell, ruby, open-gl, mixer, sequencer, load all your patches map lots to hashes

is it really time to dare
computing audio nightmare

PPS: Not to be misunderstood: I consider these externals to be powerful tools but i watch computation and memory efficiency closely, this is why i prefered pd.
