There are various approaches. One is to use the coll external in the CVS, which is probably, what you want to use if you are comfortable with coll. Another is the pool external or Georg's containers or some programming language external like pyext. A pure internal solution could be to store indexes to tables somehow.

You'd need to know how many lists you want to store, and then create tables like

table 1-list table 2-list table 3-list ...

Then you can access them by

floats | [set $1-table( | [tabread]

And read out tabread accordingly. Als textfile can be (ab)used in a similar way.

You see, there's more than one way to do it.

Hi list, I need to store a collection of list of floats, exactly as with the Max object "coll". As with the Max object "coll", I would need an index in order to read a chosen list in the future. Does this possibility exist within pd-world ? Thanks for your help.

Hello

Besides what Frank and Georg already mentionned, there are some other solutions :

• [textfile] (directly in Pd)
• (zexy lib) [msgfile] : a kind of [textfile] with some additional features
• (zexy lib) [matrix] : each line can be thought as a list of floats (the

reading index you need would correspond to the row#)

I personnaly used [msgfile] and [matrix] with great satisfaction for storing data presets ala [coll].
