hi, only the $-variable at the beginning is expanded. to have special expansions u can use makesymbol or makefilename (i think from zexy). marius.

Hello.
Are messages like
$1-something-$2
supposed to be expanded correctly by PD?
I'm puzzled because I only get the first dollar expanded while the second is considered as literal. For example I get things like
1043-something-$2
I read the manual section but I found no mention to limitations of this kind. I attached an example.
