I'm VERY new to Max. I'm trying to use a "$" message to select an item from a list. The problem is, I need to be able to change the number that follows "$". I've tried using prepend, but then there's a space, so it doesn't work. I've tried using sprintf, but then there's a backslash before the $, so it doesn't work. Can anyone help me out?
