Easiest to have files that are named with numbers rather than a number 
plus some extra sample-specific name.  Otherwise you really do need a 
way to get a list of existing filenames into Pd somehow, either by a 
text file that you prepare beforehand, or a more complicated system with 
externals.

For leading 0 with fixed number of digits (here 2):

[nbx\

[makefilename P%02d.wav]

[open $1, 1(
