Thanks, Chris - I really appreciate the help.
I’m still doing something wrong though. When I send the message [42( to [makefilename %d] I get an “ inlet: expected 'float' but got ‘1’” error from [route].
i'm pretty sure you get a slightly different error, but anyhow:
Seems like it’s still a symbol.
actually, what chris suggested was not to convert the symbol into a float (which currently is hard to to if not impossible in Pd), but convert a [route]-selector into a symbol as well. this will only work if [route] is not in the (default) float-mode, so you need to create it as something like:
[route fourtytwo]
(with the argument being a symbol).
then you use [makefilename %d] to convert the number 42 into the symbol "42", and override the [route]-selector "fourtytwo" with this new symbol.
after that, [route] will route the "42"-symbol just fine.
