I would like to make some 60 arrays named, e.g., arr1, arr2,..... I've tried using [array define ....] but cannot automate substitution of the array name, using $1 ior %s or anything (I have automatic generation of the array names as symbols working). Unfortunately I don't know how to post a patch here.
Any suggestions anyone?

/Paul

@paulspignon Use the "up" arrow symbol above the post you are writing...... which will upload a patch or a zip file etc, and it will add a link in your post.
If you are using a recent version of Pd then [clone] will probably be the simplest solution.

@paulspignon example.zip
If you open the example above (don't forget to unzip) then [clone] will create 60 arrays (from 1-60 because of the -s 1 switch...... otherwise it would start at 0).
Open clone to see an [array define] with the name arr$1
Click to open [array define arr$1] and you will see an array arr1
To see arr34 send the message [vis 34 1( into [clone] and in the window that opens click [array define arr$1] to see the array arr34
