[maxmsp] $11 $12 $13

Check out sprintf.  While it won't do the re-ording that message box 
will (e.g. $1 $3 $2 $4) it's definitely the way to go.

For example:

100 10 3 into

sprintf %d ants sat on %d logs waiting for %d cyclical remarks on the 
Max Forum
gives
100 ants sat on 10 logs waiting for 3 cyclical remarks on the Max Forum

Quick sheet on sprintf:
%d	 int
%f 	float
%s	symbol
%c	char (from ascii num)
Also, you'll need to use \ as an escape character for commas, etc.
