Hi again,
I'm happily creating subpatches and filling them with dynamic subpatches (thanks again, Jonathan), but now I'm stuck on something more subtle. I'm doing something like this:
[b] | [symbol G] | [; pd-exp-$1 msg 20 235 /analysis/level/$1; (
to dynamically add a [/analysis/level/G ( message box to subpatch 'exp-G'. However, what I really want that message box to say is:
[/analysis/level/G $1(
so I can do something useful with that message. How do I get '$1' into that message box, dynamically?
Phil

Brilliant hack, Jack - thanks a million! Thanks for your suggestion, too, dmotd.

pd allows you to use:
[float 1( | [msg (X) (Y) selector $$1( | [s pd-patch]
to set a dollar agument dynamically. *however* this mechanism is only available in the short term
- as soon as you save the generator patch and
reopen it the second dollar will become commented '$$1', so this technique only applies for a once only approach - perhaps for generating a large repeating structures. this behaviour may in fact be a bug?
the technique i've use, which is a bit of work-around hackery, is to dynamically create a [loadbang]-->[adddollar 1( first, wire that to any subsequent message that needs the dollar argument appended, and finally call the 'loadbang' for the subpatch. its not pretty but works.
perhaps there is a more ellegant solution?
cheers dmotd
