hey,
I have been trying to rename sends and receives of dials at runtime
they need actual literal $0 in their name.
so I tried this with sending a 0 to $$4 in a message
it worked for the literal renaming but the patch gets messed up after saving and reloading.
I might have a found a way that doesn't mess up the patch after saving, but I still consider it somewhat hack-ish.
I'm not clear of the purpose of what you want to achieve, though. You can only convert the receivenames to use $0 once, so it seems easier to use a text editor to edit the pd file. Or if you set the receive names dynamically whenever you fire up the patch, you could instead use the real number instead of the variable $0.

somehow the patch does need to be able to be edited and saved without changeing the $$4 to a $$4 once reloaded after a save.
this is what the patch looks like from the .pd file after a save.
