How about [symbol $1]? the generic solution for this is to use [list prepend $1] it will output a float when you pass it a float and a symbol when you pass it a symbol (to be precise, it will output a "list" message with one atom (float or symbol), which will be interpreted by most objects as the correct type) fgamsdr IOhannes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlB8PPQACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvScHACfVp4JwMs/rYtV+q6t1S1ZKN3n bvgAnA8a9EIuE5vA4BC0eANE8W0jrat6 =K4fP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
