I know how to use placeholders ($1, $2 etc) on messages to insert variables but don't know how to get user variables into objects.

Example 1: I want to let a user choose from a list of baud rates for a serial object.

Example 2: I have a match object that I want to let the user enter one of the arguments for.

If you've created an abstraction you can use #1 style notation to indicate the arguments. If you want to select values from a list you might want to look at [umenu]. For [match] look at the "set" message to change its values. If you need more help post a patch to explain what your problems are.

Thank you. I got it working using set on the match and the baud message on the serial object.

I would like to also let the user choose the serial device to use. I know that sending a print message to the serial object outputs the names of the serial ports available.

How can I get those names into a umenu at runtime?

figured it out. will post solution here when i am done.
