.... you could do things like this with the (linux-only) shell external of ggee, where you might use any scripting language you like

than to clutter the patch with int and +1 and trigger and until boxes just in order to implement a simple loop. That's probably, why I made code externals and after a while switched to James Mc'Cartneys "pyrite" object for Max (some sort of programming language with embedded text editor in a max object) before more or less ending the Max business altogether some 6 years ago. But that's probably poison for a pd-list =:-)
I too, find that graphical programming is the wrong tool for things like this. Can you tell more about pyrite? I have never used Max.
I have made an extern that lets me write externs in Scheme for cases like this. It's at http://www.westnet.com/~lt but needs some work. I'll try to post a new version soon.
But, I would like to know what similar things Max has, out of curiosity.
