Hi,

Before, I was able to create and delete an abstraction with a specific ID based on the first argument. I think I was using pd-extended 0.41 at the time.

Now, when I try to do the same with 42.5 using [find +myAbs 3, delete( it only find the first abstraction on the patch and doesn't care anymore for the ID.

That's a big problem cause I am unable to delete a specific objet, only the first instance...

anyone have a clue on this?

Thanks

After you send [find myabstraction<, you can use [findagain< to find the next abstraction matching the name you gave.

Yes, thank you, I tried this already.

But what I want is to find a precise abstraction relating to his unique ID, not only the next one in my patch.

Ok, I managed to do what I want using the dyn~ extrernal...

But what? an external for such a simple and usefull thing? hum... ok.

Je suis têtu...
Whenever i can avoid externals...
The attached patch SHOULD work : however it sometimes spits red errors. I may be because of my home-compiled 0.43.1.

I want to delete an abstraction from within itself. is this possible? all the solutions above i could not get to work..

iemguts/canvasdelete makes light work of this. Make sure that the delete command is the last thing to be triggered, or else it might crash.

The canvasdelete object also lets you delete individual objects on a canvas.
