Hi, I think that this question has been raised and answered before, but I didn't have any luck with an archive search, so I hope nobody's irritated if this is a repeat question.
I have a number of waves store in pd tables (say about 50 or so), and I would like to access them by number rather than name, so that it would be easy, for example, to scroll through the various waveforms.
So I think what I need is a mechanism where I can have a list of PD symbols and have an object that takes a number which is an index into this list, and outputs the corresponding symbol. Ideally, this list could be read from a text file, but since I am already generating other patches (like the tables) programatically, I'm not opposed to other options.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

well, [index] from zexy should do the trick (although there are certainly ways to do it with plain pd ([makefilename]...)
