i need to see wether a number is within a certain range, is there a way of attaching an AND to the 'if' object?

detect-when-in-range

Have a look at the logic ops like || and &&. These are common

programming operations. || means logical or and && means logical and.

Most expression objects will support these operations as well.

cool, i have worked out the syntax vaguely, how can i get a if object to output a bang?

sel 1 will output a bang if the input is 1

Here's the patch below. Some friendly advice which is probably too

late for you now...read the manual and do the tutorials. Your patch

showed some serious misunderstandings of max.

could you look at the patcher,as it is not outputting anything at all

cant get that patcher to load, it just comes back up as text. isnt a patcher as text supposed to end with a 'pop' message?

"read the manual and do the tutorials. Your patch

showed some serious misunderstandings of max." ---i know. basically, i started with max about a year ago, then got quite heavily into flash.

unfortunatly, my memory isnt as good as i had hoped, but i am on a tight deadline for my degree (music technology) and my project must be in max (well, or PD, but we wont go there!!)

so i am relying on you peoples kind hearts and my own intensive 'on the job' research' to get through

for the record, when you say serious misunderstandings, what do you mean?

again, thank you very much for your patience. for the record i am very much enjoying my learning, and when i can i will return the goodwill by participating on this forum in a helping capacity

I sent you a version that does what you want. See my last email.

you can just copy the text using command+C (apple + c on mac) and past

using command+v into a patcher. All of the objects should appear and

You were using the set message to do things that you can't use the set

message to do. Also, the fact that bang is a message and can just be

written as text for output from the if object.

Ok,
you can just copy the text using command+C (apple + c on mac) and past
using command+v into a patcher.  All of the objects should appear and
work.

i'd like to say thats the last simple question i will have, but it wont be, so i wont!!

Remember the one that you couldn't get to load?? Try that one using

the instructions for copying and pasting. If you want to see it in

i never realised you could copy text direct into a patcher

for the record, is there a way to extract text from a patcher also?

my current method is to re-open the patcher as text and then copy and paste it

in the help file for 'if' they use the syntax $i1, whereas in your solution you have used $f1, could you explain?

same way highlight your objects and command+c.

I think the split object may be what you're looking for,

[if and if then else ... ] will not work, you 

what you want (topic) could be done by [split 22 33].

[if and if then else ... ] will not work, you 
would have to use two [if]s in series.
