Hi, dear list !
I know that there are alternatives to the illustrated problem, but i just wanted to point out (haha), that the "pointer" method for [array] objects is hardly documented and actually seems to be not working at all.
While said method works fine for [text], i have to say that [text]'s help patches would also benefit from a demonstration of that feature.
I personnaly find it very handy to be able to use [text] (or [array]) for local tasks only without having to worry about naming issues (duplicates etc.).
In my attached example, i was working on a simple vanilla-based binary-to-digital converter and i wanted to use [array sum] as a handmade [accum] object. While the "naming" method with array obviously works, the "pointer" method either doesn't or i don't understand it.
Thanks for any clarifications (and yes, i am aware of other vanilla and externalized methods to achieve this - but i try to understand [array]'s pointer logic)
Best
Oliver
