[PD] pd version of tosymbol or similar?

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

if it's a matter of using a ready made external object, cyclone/tosymbol
exists

If you want a pd vanilla patch that does the same, check else/any2symbol

the key is to use vanilla's [list fromsymbol] and [list tosymbol] and
hopefully you'll see what I mean and figure it out.

anyway, really really looking forward to your external, it'll be a huge
game changer :)

best of luck

cheers
