Hello all,
I am looking to see if there is an easy way to do this, but I cannot find anything on the boards.

I would like to send a variable to print on an ofelia screen.

Something like this:

|metro 1000|
|
|
|counter|
|
|
|ofExpr "Measure|
|

Hello all,

\

|ofTrueTypeFont $0-text drawString 0 0|

The expression would go in the second inlet.

I am guess that the dollar sign variables do not work with objects which is why this is not working.

@raynovich you could use something like list to symbol: https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10556/vanilla-list2symbol-abstraction-pd-0-47/13

I am not sure l2s would work. I think the problem is that I cannot seem to send a variable to the ofExpr object.

The idea is that you put the variable into l2s

I might be a bit late, but using [ofExpr] you can do a simple string concatenation using ".."

Hey,
This is helpful. Can you help explain how the variables work? I am trying to understand it.
