[PD] an arbitrary number of inlets - proxy?

[Fredrik Olofsson]

hello

i'm stuck.

say i  create an arbitrary number of in/outlets with something like...

     for (i = 0; i < arg; i++)
     {
         x->x_outlet[i] = outlet_new(&x->x_ob, &s_float);
         if (i)
         {
             sprintf(tempStr, "ft%d", i);
             inlet_new(&x->x_ob, &x->x_ob.ob_pd, &s_float, gensym(tempStr));
         }
     }

how can i avoid writing an unknown number of methods (i.e. one for 
each inlet) and instead having one function that handles all inlets 
with some kind of index attached to each message?  what i'm looking 
for is something like proxy_new() in max, which i belive is lacking 
in pd - right?
