one possibility is to use python. another possibility would be to use some weird dynamic patching. it is not possible without tricks. but in general it is possible. and it also depends on how you want to connect the abstraction. another way to deal with multilength lists is to use send and receive and list abstractions... marius.

hi list, i wonder if it's possible to write an abstraction that has a variable number of inlets or outlets, given as argument.
i've tried it with messages like
;pd-[argument file name] inlet 10 10
and so on, but then you always get asked if you want to discard changes, cause of course you shouldn't save these changes in the abstraction.
impossible?
