Dear Hans and List:
Attached is a .zip of a possible solution. You can unzip and open "getcreationargstest.pd". In this patch, you'll find a [getcreationargstest_abs] abstraction with a bunch of float and symbol arguments. Open it up and have fun -- [getcreationargs] is the main abstraction -- there are two dependencies: 1) [digiter] which is an abstraction that iterates the digits of an integer, and 2) [log10] which is a base-ten log abstraction used in [digiter].
There are some downsides to it:
- it requires helper abstractions.
- it requires a helper subpatch in the parent (the name of this
patch is the creation argument to [getcreationargs]. 3) it uses some rather arcane dynamic patching which might break in the future. 4) when it's used it sets the dirty flag.
I think this could at least be something like the right idea.... also I haven't tested on all platforms, and it's for 0.40 or greater.
Lemme know what you think!

So I tried to use this within an abstraction, so it is reusable. Unforunately, the $1 gets initialized to 0 before it is sent to the abstraction, so this technique doesn't work as is.
Any ideas for how to make it work?

This a very nice method, thanx. But there is something strange in this abstraction according to the help page about [list]. I can read [list] short for [list append] but this is not true. In this abstraction if you replace [list append] by [list] and you enter a 'symbol' as argument, you have this error : list $1 ... couldn't create This is just a remark. ++

Hallo, Bill Gribble hat gesagt: // Bill Gribble wrote:
I am doing something like this:
|loadbang| | |symbol $1| | |readfile $1 cr, rewind( | |textfile|
There's also an interface to set the filename later.
Use this instead: [list append $1] | [select 0] |
[nofile( [s $0-FILENAME] | [s $0-FILENAME]since this does not differentiate between no args and "0", i prefer the attached version (too complicated for ascii art)
