store a symbol, how to ?
Hello
I wonder if there is an object in Max who
store and recall a symbol ?
the question can be stupid but with only a description
of a fonction, the search is less easy than with a name
so if somebody know
thank's
best
Eryck

among others, the message box can do this:
--
Chris Muir | "There are many futures and only one status quo.
cbm@well.com | This is why conservatives mostly agree,
http://www.xfade.com | and radicals always argue." - Brian Eno
value or pvar can store symbols, with the benefit of doing it in
multiple locations in the patch.
see also tosymbol and fromsymbol.
using the messagebox is also a good method, like chris posted.

yep or use 'zl reg'
john
thank you all,
I try to fix some patches(example patch actually) coming from Gem library for Max - originally for Pure data), and apparently some
object like only exist in PD;
so, I reconstitute them(in Max) in order to understand something in those patches

or [textedit]-[pattrstorage] combo depending on what you want to do.

Have a look at my St.ools, there is a subset called abhaXions, and in
there is another subset called Pd abhaXions. I made some replacements
for Pd objects as well...
You'll find it on the cycling/share pages...
I would use either [zl reg] or pattr for storing arbitrary types...
