This time I've got a symbol, say "foo", and some numbers, say 3, and I'm trying to construct "read foo-3.wav".
Tried "makefilename $1-%d.wav", aiming to plug in the 3 and get "$1-3.wav", run that through a "set $1" to a message box -- but makefilename sends "$1-3.wav", and I haven't figured out how to strip the backslash off. If makefilename took "set", or handled lists, or didn't add the backslash; or if there were an "add3" that didn't inject spaces... but how do people prefer to do this kind of thing?
hi, makesymbol from zexy, this has some additional features. sÃme.

Ooh, this zexy library is very handy. Almost essential...
best usage would be makesymbol from the ZEXY library.
you have to create a "pack s 0", containg "foo" and "3" and send it to the object
"makesymbol %s-%s.wav" then into the message "read $1"
this should do your job

HI Eli,
I have to think about this. I don't know who's treating you to that backslash for one thing. Anyway, makefilename should indeed take a "set" message, and anyway, I forgot why I didn't think it was possible to feed it more than one variable...
