i'm quite new to pd, so I don't know if my problem is easy or not, I've been reading up for a day now and not one bit further, so if someone could help me a little or point me in the right direction.

here's my problem:
I want pure data to read pi (3,1415.....) and give me the numbers one after the other in a number box. so first 3, then 1 ....

is this possible?

best way would to have precalculed data. I have a look at this patch

for the first 4 digits:

[4 (
|
[until]
|
[t b b]
| |
[pi] [f 1]x

• | |
• |
  [int]
  |
  [mod 10]
  |
  [numberbox]

thank u neko, that's excactly what I need!

ok, next problem.

I want it to run through a couple of number boxes.

pi
|
5 - 1 - 4 - 1 - 3

I've come that far using a delay object, but I also want to be able to stop the stream and start it again.
now the last number still gets send through, or they dont start right.

also, maybe there's just an easier way to do this?
