I guess you get the error when trying to read or write from/to the table. As mentioned in the help of tabwrite, you can write to dynamic locations using the set message.

For example:

[table $0-mytable]

[loadbang] | [symbol $0-mytable] | [set $1( | [tabwrite]

cheers, M

Hi list, I'd like to use multiple instances of an abstraction in the same

patch and the abstraction contains an array. I would normally deal with this by naming the array '$0-somename' but pd doesn't seem to recognize the '$' and I get the error '0-somename: no such table'. Can someone help me through this? Thanks in advance, Pat
