[PD] how to get big numbers from array into a file?

[Christof Ressi]

If your numbers are integers, you can convert them to symbols with 
[makefilename %d] and add them to a text file, e.g. with [text set].

If the numbers are floats, you can use [makefilename %f]. Unlike %g, the 
%f specifier prevents the use of scientific notation. See also

Works for me (tm).
