you could use msgfile from zexy and write your transaltions into a textfile a 1; b 2; c 3; ... and then [r letter] | [rewind, find $1( | [msgfile] | [$2( | [s number]
pool (thomas grill) also has dictionary lookup features. but I am not sure if any of these solutions is more elegant then select, and select is quite fast. how many letters do you have? marius.

Dear Pd Friends:
I need to create a mapping from letters into numbers:
(A->1,a->1,B->2,b->2,...)
I want to be able to enter a letter into a symbol box and translate
it to the number. This will allow me to enter rehearsal letters
from parts that cue up a sequence to the right spot. I can think of
very unattractive ways to do this in Pd using select. Is there an
elegant way?Best Wishes, David
