<![CDATA[how to dynamically populate and store a collection of floats]]>Hi, I’d like to use [key] to dynamically populate a (variable length) list of floats. I can’t work out how to collect and store the list so that I can then output the list as a whole.

For example, I could type “asdf” and then press enter, which would result in the floats 97 115 100 102 10. The 10 would be syphoned off, and the other numbers are stored as a list. I’ve tried various [list], [zlgroup], [any] etc. I just can’t work it out! Thanks

This will do that.........make-list.pd

This adds anything but 10 to a message, and then sends it onwards when 10 is received........ and then clears the message so as to start a new list.

Where the [print] is replace it with a send to your storage........ [text]... [qlist]...
David.

Lists can be built in a message box by sending in messages.
It is one of the most useful features of Pd.

The [append $1] was the missing bit!
