@jancsika I made a version of [dup] with another coding approach. It should work mostly the same, supports counting for [dup 22] and also supports short styles like [dup 5 15 2] or [dup 2 = 10].

dup.pd

There is actually a trick: As long as the first line is not a single number, it will just assume the first number to be "from", the second number "to" and the third number "step", regardless of other symbols. It assumes "<" or ">" as default, only if it detects a "=" it will add another step.

@moffitr [loadbang] ?

@jancsika It is pretty cool!

@jancsika Ok, now it works. Only [dup i 20, i < 45, i + 1] gives just bangs.

@jancsika This and the lower two examples in the help file do nothing at all...

Have you seen my [loop], [for] and [for++] abstractions? These together with [expr] or other objects can do everything with less complexity...

@tomatoKetchup

@jancsika [dup] is just outputting bangs...

@jancsika From what i know you can install Ofelia and then you can use Lua scripts right inside a box. With this the for loop with do stuff and more stuff is possible.

@jaffasplaffa All the best to you and your mom!

@solipp Well, what i did was for the specific use case, not as a general solution. It works like shown in the help file...
