I need the event opcode to pass a filename to diskin in the called 
instrument.

The filename is "1.wav".

The problem? Event (or schedkwhen for that matter) does not take a string as 
an argument.

Also, if I simply pass the numeric variable "1", I see no way of converting 
that to the string "1.wav". What am I missing?

(I would like to pass filenames "1.wav" through maybe "10.wav" to the same 
called instrument, BTW.)

Hi Art,

You could maybe use strset/strget to convert from an string to an index:

http://csounds.com/manual/html/strset.html
http://csounds.com/manual/html/strget.html

to format a number into a string as you mentioned, you can use:

http://csounds.com/manual/html/sprintf.html

and use a format string of "%d.wav".
