if i use a bpatcher object with 2 arguments, i understand that the underlying subpatch refers to these arguments as #1 and #2. i would like to use both arguments in a send or receive object, but this does not seem to work.

[s #1-#2-smp-led] in the original subpatch shows up as

[s 3-#2-smp-led] when bpatcher is used with arguments 3 and 5

is there something i am missing here, or is it not possible to use two (or more) #n arguments in an object in a subpatch?

have a look at sprintf or combine to, well combine arguments. in your example Max has no way of knowing that #2 is supposed to be replaced by an argument since it is surrounded by other "stuff". use sprintf to concatenate your final string and then use [forward] (instead of [send])...

hope that helps. post a patch if you are in trouble and someone will help you out further.

The issue is that string is substitution only happens at the very beginning of the string. For example smp-led-#1 would not get string substitution. As MIB mentions, sprintf or combine are your best bet to generate a symbol for use with send/receive/forward.
