Hello,

I'm loading user selected samples into an array. I'm having trouble resizing an array with a global variable name.

I bang an openpanel object and use the message [read -resize $1 $0-array( and connect that to a soundfiler object.

I get an error saying 0-array no such table. and the table is does not fill with the sample.

I would like to make a sampling app where people can have multiple instances of the sampler but I do not want to have to name the arrays in advance thus limiting the number of arrays they can use. I would like to instead use a variable randomly generated name using the $0-array but I also need to resize the array. Any ideas?

@audiolemon Purr Data supports $0 in messages. If you are using Pd, you have do give the $0 as argument to the message like this:

Perfect - thanks so much ingox. I find the list objects confusing and I don't think I would have come up with this solution.

@audiolemon These solutions are all functionally the same:

soundfiler_demo.pd

That's very decent of you. Thanks
