I guess you get the error when trying to read or write from/to the table.

As mentioned in the help of tabwrite, you can write to dynamic locations using the set message.

For example:

[table $0-mytable]

[loadbang]

[symbol $0-mytable]

[set $1(

[tabwrite]

cheers,

Hi list, I'd like to use multiple instances of an abstraction in the same
patch and the abstraction contains an array. I would normally deal with
this by naming the array '$0-somename' but pd doesn't seem to recognize the
'$' and I get the error '0-somename: no such table'. Can someone help me
through this?
Thanks in advance,
Pat
