Hi all,
is there a straightforward way to assign values to symbols and dereferencing them in pd?
I think of something like a hash table or some other sort of lookuptable for key/value pairs (the key part being a symbol, the value part being an arbitrary pd datatype) in a way that you could dereference them in a similar fashion as in a tabread object (specifying that symbol table as argument and retrieving the current value of the symbol in the outlet by sending the symbol name to the inlet).
I know it's possible to mimick that with send receive pairs and routes, but I would like a more elegent way to solve this.
Yours, Orm
maybe mapper.zip from http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/~newhouse/externs/externs.html
and i m not sure about index from zexy but it must be doing somthing similar according to the description.
