i was wondering if anyone had any idea how to store a list of x,y coordinates and then assign each coordinate set an integer.

when i bang a message containing a list 0,3

i tried using coll but it does not accept input coordinates. i can however recall coordinates. which is the inverse of what i would like to do.

the output is 1

i would like to predetermine various coordinate sets and assign them each an integer so i can recall them later... alot like coll

You can do this with coll, but don't use a comma in your index. commas have special meaning in max messages. See:

amazing thanks mzed :) i knew it was missing something with coll

sorry if this is a rather amateur question... but ive only ever used max as a problem solving tool over the years.

by any chance would you know which object i should use to combine two integers into a single stream

and have them output combined with a dash

im able to pak them as (0 - 3) using {pak 0 symbol 0}

0 and 3

0-3

nvm used tosymbol object worked like a charm
