Now the big problem is that I'll have lists of varying types sizes coming in to Pd... It's kind of hard to use [unpack] to handle all possibilities... sheesh.
use [drip] from zexy. it makes symbols from every element of a list. [list one two three four( --> [symbol one( [symbol two( [symbol three( [symbol four(
Well, to be correct it does not convert everything to a symbol, but behaves like this:
[list a b 1 2 c( | [drip]
gives:
symbol a symbol b float 1 float 2 symbol c
This opens up cool possibilities, as [drip] for example can be used as a simple "list-scaler":
[list a b 1 2 c( | [drip] | [route float] | / [* 2] / \ / \ / [repack 5]
gives:
"list a b 2 4 c"
Using [length] to set the length of [repack], you can use this for lists of varying length.
That concludes the "Zexy Lists Idioms And Tricks Tutorial No. 1".
