combine 2 dynamic lists
Here is a patch so far
I would like to join, combine, lace etc - Maybe a better way
here is an image (if you don't have spat5--)
the final result should have commas to get into spat
the goal here is group each 8 sources in different azim and dist configurations
pushing commas into messagebox objects might be impossible.
why not use [list] [list] or [t "s s s" "s s i"] ?
actualy I found way to get comma
but my [zl lace] cannot work because I use [toymbol] to lace the 2 lists -- 1 item laced with 2 items
What is the purpose of displaying them in a [message] object? You don't necessary need to format those through a single message with commas. Instead, you can directly send your messages one by one as they come (since you generate all 8 messages every time a change is made), or group them in a FullPacket using [spat5.osc.collect]. With the last solution, you can use [spat5.osc.var] to store your bunch of messages if you want to re-send them later (otherwise FullPacket messages are quite volatile), and [spat5.osc.view] to see on-screen.
EDIT: for those used to the Odot package, [spat5.osc.collect] is the equivalent of [o.collect], [spat5.osc.var] of [o.var], and [spat5.osc.view] of [o.display]. But I used the spat5 version since OP already uses that package in their project.
the message box I put was for visual debugging
So yeah, not worth the trouble formatting messages with commas just for visual debugging. Better to use [print] or [messageview] for this purpose.
Well. I didn’t understand how to get mass massages into spat
I was using /source/1/stuff , /source/2/stuff etc (a lot of those)
OR
/source/*/stuff - addresses all
— coming back to spat after away for a while I needed to learn about targeting groups
Message with commas was what I figured out but not best solution
Thanks for assistance!
Yes, wildcards are very useful! You can also target multiple, but not all, addresses, in one go using something like {2, 4, 5} which should be written as {2\, 4\, 5} in Max messages since you need to escape the comma. This is shown in [spat5.tuto-osc-1].
thanks great info I check it out
there it is
besides /source/{ \2,\7}/
can do /source/[2-7]/
now I begin to think about [sprintf ] needs a trigger mode
