Compare with this: [53( | [makefilename %c] | [print] which produces a message whose $1 is a A_SYMBOL and so prints "symbol 5". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=478070&aid=1416539&group_id=55736 _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
