This may not be the best implementation of what I'm trying to do, and there may be a very simple way to do it, but...

The message box needs to change, so from "line $1" to "line $x", whatever x may be. It works up to $10, but anything above 10 is formatted as "/$xx". That slash causes the rest of the patcher not to work.

When using #n or $n, Max will only substitute the first 9 items. 

When using  #n or $n, Max will only substitute the first 9 items. 


[list line 0] [list line 0] [list line 0]

20, 30, 40
[list line 0] [list line 0] [list line 0]

20 30 40
[unpack 0 0 0]
[pak line 0] [pak line 0] [pak line 0]

"line $1" was appearing to reference a single word within a textedit box, so I was trying to step through the words to trigger off midi/samples.

Taking the advice that this is a stupid way of doing it ("When using #n or $n, Max will only substitute the first 9 items"), I've copied some code from elsewhere, which literally chooses the entire line, then broken it down to words and letters by using zl.slice and listfunnel.

That seems like a much more elegant solution.
