how to keep and reuse a string? - Pd-list

17 Dec 2004


      hello list,
I want to make a kind of slide show, where the user can choose the
images from the hard disk. But I cann't use the filename more than once
to send the open message. the problem is that I have this structure:
openfiledialog -> open $1 0> pix_image
and I need to send a bang message to the open to send it to pix_image.
But how can I do that without opening the dialog again?
thank you,
andrei
