hmm. actually, this isn't doing what i thought it was.. i don't really understand how it's working. what i want is an abstraction that is able to determine whether a given $-argument in its _parent_ is specified or not. at the moment, [d-default] works in such a way that i can go [d-default $2 50], and if $2 in the current-level patch (ie the parent of this instance of [d-default] is not specified, it will output 50. can you explain the [1(-[makefilename $%d-test] voodoo? my intuition is that [makefilename] ought to outlet '$1-test', but according to [print] it's actually outputting \\$1-test, which looks like some kind of funky escape sequence... over my head in any case. cheers d -- damian stewart | skype: damiansnz | [EMAIL PROTECTED] frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
