hi,

try something like this :

g

You can do it like this with sprintf. I've heard that combine is better to use for efficiency reasons, but I couldn't get it to work with a comma. Anyway, there is nothing to worry about at all unless you're using loooads of them. You could modify the patch by storing the chosen list for line in [zl reg ] and banging it when you want to trigger the ramp instead of every choice triggering it.

Ahh, go with GE's method. Much more elegant solution.

oh, sorry for not mentioning. Im using 4.5 :( Any chance of posting in old format? (or short explanation)

About your suggestion with zl reg. Sometimes it can be desirable to constantly generating 3 random values (startpoint, endpoint, ramptime) Then you need to be able to format it with comma on the fly. Thats another example of the comma problem with messagebox ..... but I will look into sprintf (or your patches in old format...)

re-hi,

here is the max 4 format :

g

Solved it with sprintf, argument %c sending it asci nr 44 (comma) from a messagebox. Thanks (Evrard, still curious about yours) ....... oh there it came while I was typing.... Ok, then I learned something new about coll formating. Thanks for that as well

Speaking of that: What is the asci nr for (backslash) Key object showed 92, but sprintf translated that into "

You could just store them as normal lists and then use [zl rot 2], [zl slice 2] and patch both outlets to the [line] object. The comma in a message box simply sends the contents one after another.
