two things that might be a first step on the way to a solution:

when you use soundfiler with -resize, i think it returns the new length of the array.. you would have to announce this on some gobal message..

the other thing that is really very much a hack...

when you send a "resize" message to an array, you can catch the message with a receive object... i dont think this will help you at load time however, unless you have loadbangs triggering a bunch of resize messages...

heres a little patch to illustrate the point..

Dear list.

I'm now playing with the so powerful table object.

Is there a way to know the size of an array ?

I'm using tabread4~ and the "set" message to select witch table I whant

to

read. But all the diferent table i "set" have diferent size. So I whant

that

my algorithme know the size of the aray that tabread4~ is curently

reading.

In practice my tables are in another patch.

Does anyone have meet the same situation and find a solution ?

Thanks.

Cheers.
