I am using sprintf to assemble some command strings, and I need to include a comma character

It looks like I can't include the standard ASCII escaping, eg 54 for comma.

You can use a backslash to escape a reserved character in objects like [sprintf] and [expr]. Try without the "symout" argument otherwise it will all be one message and won't work if you try to send it to [forward].

If I don't include symout then forward kicks back "forward: first extra argument must be a symbol".

If I do include symout, then the forward doesn't seem to take effect.

What seems to work is (t b i) to fire off the (sprintf send z%i) and then (min).

Is there a simpler way to do this? I just want to selectively send messages to a number of consecutively named (receive) objects.
