Hello list,
Is there an equivalent of the remote object to receive on a given symbol? I want this to be set on the creation of an abstraction by something like [pack $1 $2 $3] -> [makesymbol %s-%s-%s-foo]. Also, on send, using the pack object seems to add the word 'list' to the beginning of the list, meaning that remote sends to list, rather than the desired destination. Is this a bug in remote?
I know sending and receiving on symbols defined by several $ variables has been covered before - http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/2001-06/0126.html (not the url, the page ;) is Miller's explenation, but I can't quite see how to use this in order to acheive what I want. I want to be able to put give a high level abstraction three arguments which will define the send and / or receive symbols contained inside, and I don't see how something fixed inside the abstraction (as b1 etc are in Miller's example) help. I also want to duplicate such abstractions quite extensively. I may be missing something really basic, as the question has been answered before, but any further light on the matter would be appreciated.
I suppose a receive variation with an inlet to define it's symbol would be quite easy to code? A bit of pd is about as deep into programming as I have got.
Sorry for being so verbose (and sending much the same post several times this evening), and thanks again for any insights.
Regards,
Peter
I'm also having a similar problem (i think) when trying to convert lists to symbols. I know of the existence of zexy's l2s but I'm on OSX and not really a programmer so basically I still didn't try compile Zexy for OSX (Adam?). I think as also been discussed really recently:
http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/2003-March/002824.html
and maybe before.
I'm not sure if I'm making the right reasoning here but maybe something like list2symbol should be native to PD or some similar method of dealing with these problems??
Cheers Ivan
