i'm pretty sure you get a slightly different error, but anyhow: > Seems like it’s still a symbol. actually, what chris suggested was not to convert the symbol into a float (which currently is hard to to if not impossible in Pd), but convert a [route]-selector into a symbol as well. this will only work if [route] is not in the (default) float-mode, so you need to create it as something like: [route fourtytwo] (with the argument being a symbol). then you use [makefilename %d] to convert the number 42 into the symbol "42", and override the [route]-selector "fourtytwo" with this new symbol. after that, [route] will route the "42"-symbol just fine. gfmadsr IOhannes
