Because "3 p" begins with a number and has more than one item it is considered to be a list rather than a number. Try a combination of [route list] and [zl slice 1] as in the example below. I hope it helps.

At some point, it solves the problem but not entirely!

if the user do not enters an number but anything else, the patch will say "good syntax"

Check this!

... but the point is.... I've made the same thing with MAX4.6 and I don't remember this problem...it worked (long time ago!) I just don't understand why MAX5 doesn't!

Hi Rui, see if this is what you need

Hi Rui,

And this works as well.

Hi

Those solutions work well.

Since this is not an "realtime" application, it will only to check syntax and translate to "realtime code", the complexety of the patch is not important.

I guess that I'll combine your two ways and add an extra feature: the capability to change what's being checked!

When it's ready I'll post here... that could be useful for anyone!

Anyway... Thanks alot!
