This could be used to achieve differentiation between the abstractions, ie. if the abstraction contains "tabread4~ $-1.array" and the $-1 is replaced with the instance number, then each instance could read a different file. Of course there are other ways of doing this, but it would be neat to do it with clone, and I'm wondering if there's a way.<br>> > > <br>> > > <br>> > > isn't this what $1 is already doing in clone's instances?<br>> > > <br>> > > <br>> > > fgasdmr<br>> > > IOhannes<br>> > > <br>> > > _______________________________________________<br>> > > Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list<br>> > > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list<br>> > > <br>> > <br>> > _______________________________________________<br>> > Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list<br>> > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list<br>> UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list<br></div> </div></div> </div></body>
