Hi,

I would like to play a list of files named mysound-001.wav, mysound-002.wav, etc

This works if the files are numbered mysound-1.wav, mysound-2.wav, i.e. skipping the zeros:


But I can not figure out how to make the message sent include the zeros. I assume you need to make a symbol and then insert that in the message. :/

Cheers

@cfry You can insert the integer into the symbol like this.......

@cfry [makefilename %03d] creates a symbol with leading zeros:

@ingox Ha ha....!!.... for the first time....... EVER...... you have posted a MORE complicated and less elegant solution.....
David.

@whale-av It depends...

My solution supports mysound-001.wav, mysound-022.wav and mysound-333.wav.

If one would only want to use ten sound files, this is of course not necessary.

@ingox OK..... you win.
David.

To that end, I always just use the amazing, vanilla converstion abstractions:

vlist2symbol.zip

p.s. I give enormous credit and thanks to their creator, though their name currently escapes me. Thank you, for the wonderful and impactful contribution and gift. (If you know who made them, please add their name below and refresh memory.)

Peace through Music, And Love through Sharing .

@ingox Yep. More elegant. 🙏

@svanya Not necessarily. This is a simplified version of your solution:

Also quite neat.

I pick this solution, less cables and less screen real estate. And I may be using over hundred files. Great with all the other examples too.
