Hi List,

This is my first question, I am a newbie. I apologise if this has been asked before I have tried to find the answer in the archive and documentation but to no avail.

I have attached a simple patch below in txt format. I dont understand why when using the 'symbol' object I can instantiate the $1 variable to a string and when I try the same with the $2 variable it says "error: $2: argument number out of range".

My hope is to use the $1 and $2 as part of a message for a read message for the 'soundfiler' object so that I can read multiple sound files into multiple tables using a text file (which will contain the sound file names and table name).

#N canvas 406 51 458 308 12; #X msg 229 22 word2; #X obj 98 176 print $1; #X msg 74 23 word; #X obj 105 89 symbol $1; #X obj 235 87 symbol $2; #X msg 109 135 $1; #X msg 224 137 $2; #X obj 226 177 print $2; #X connect 0 0 4 0; #X connect 2 0 3 0; #X connect 3 0 5 0; #X connect 4 0 6 0; #X connect 5 0 1 0; #X connect 6 0 7 0;

Thanks for your help
