I want to change connections between objects in a large patch. I'm using |connect...( messages, but what is the way that objects are numbered?

actually the simplest way to find out is go and figure (this is - IMHO - one of the major strengths of pd: just try it)

objects are numbered as they are created, starting at 0. so if you have an empty canvas, create an object [f] and then a message [1( you might want to connect them with something like "connect 1 0 0 0" files are read line-by-line and these lines are executed, just like editing. (so the first object in the file will be object#0 too)

Are you saying you can actually make patch cord connections by sending messages? I can't find this in the "control" section of the manual, which is where I would expect to find it.

i guess this is because miller does not want this feature to be
documented.

however, there is an unofficial documentation on such items http://pd.iem.at/pdwiki/index.php?PdInternalMessages

These messages are also well documented in the 'pd-msg' docs included
in the MacOS X and Windows installers, or in the CVS
(doc/additional/pd-msg).

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of
it."

aren't we referring to the same document ? the pd-msg documentation has initially be publicated on the pdwiki.

Although this is not fully true, it is the same document. I think hc wanted to point out that it is actually included in the installers.
