I am still novice with Max, and I would need some help. I have searched for a solution for some hours, and now I really don’t know how to do:

I have a regexp objects that decodes several matches from a udpreceive stream of data.
I would like to filter this stream from the first number of the list. To do that I would use a route object (“route 1″ for example) and let the data go through the rest of the patch.

However, I would like to be able to choose the number I use as a criteria in the route object, and I have not found any solution to do so.

The select object would be ideal for me as I can plug a umenu and let the user select a number from 1 to 4.

So my question is: what would be a working equivalent of a route object with a variable argument triggered by a umenu?

Thank you very much for your help!

Best Regards,
Camille

However I forgot to mention that I need a generic way to do this (without third-party externals).

Thanks again for this suggestion.

Best,

the code is in the abstraction, very cool.
I think I got my solution.

It dynamically recreates an internal [route] object with your desired arguments.

If anyone else is searching for the same thing (a route with a single dynamic string argument), I modified Barry’s patch above to work with non-numbers:
