I'm trying to make some complicated math procedures through max msp, so that when the procedure ends, the number is stored in a text file. My problem is that the number changes throughout the procedure a large number of times, and that number of times can be random. This means that my text file can show a lot of numbers before it stores the real important one, which is the last one. Since the number of times a number is received is random, I can't make an equality of number of bangs received (example: a counter that counts till x number of times and an if that allows me to express the last number when the equality is reached), so I´m wondering, is there something that allows me to obtain the last number that receives the object in an amount of time?

obtain-only-last-number-received

Defining "an amount of time" might be the tricky part. At any rate the float or int object will store a number, and a bang sends it. This patch uses delay to detect a hole in the data stream.

Obtain only last number received?
