In my patch I use [obj 10 $2 table rec-$1( to create the tables "table rec-1", "table rec-2", etc.

This message is fed into in order to create the previously mentioned tables WITHIN the canvas/subpatch [pd storage].

After a threshold is met, I would like to delete old tables. For example, once there are 10 tables, the creation of table 11 would delete table 1, and so forth...

Is there a message I can send to my canvas/subpatch [pd storage] to tell it to delete a particular table?

Or is there a different way of deleting tables?

Thank you in advance,
Sebastian

i MIGHT be wrong, but i can't think of a single instance in which deleting tables would be your only option.

Why not just wrap around when you get to 10, and start filling in table 1 again? You can send [const 0( to the table to reset it all to zeroes too, if you have to.

What about [canvasdelete] from the iemguts library? It's deleting objects according to their creation index..
