routing in pd (was: [PD] pd if-then-else)

Thanks for your immediate answer. The problem which occurs with [select] is that, when a match value reaches [select's] inlet, [select] sends a [bang] to the corresponding outlet and not the value it received and triggered the [bang].

What I want to do is to route the messages. If I send values in a specific range, I want them to go somewhere. If I send values beyond tha range, I want them to go somewhere else. In procedural programming languages it can be done with "if-then-else" and a variable. In pd the variable is not passed by the [select] and istead a [bang] message is sent. Is there a way to use [select] and have the value in a outlet or something?

Thank you, and forgive me if I am writing in a confusing way.

Regards,

Terumi

First you can use the [select] object as a conditional - check the help file that comes with pd on that.

Another more complicated way is to use [expr] and its related objects, which I believe comes standard with Pd? I may be wrong on that because I have it pre-bundled. Anyway, probably better to use [select] first.

The control examples, if you go through them and work with each, will help you understand how to do that and a lot more - they helped me a lot (I just started Pd a couple months ago).
