This is the right place to ask! :) coll is supposed to be able to open textfiles, but I think they are supposed to have a specific format. It is meant for Max/MSP compatibility, you might have better luck with the native Pd versions: textfile and qlist

Hi all

Apoligies if this is not the correct place for asking these sorts of questions.

Can the 'coll' object read items from a text file?

What I want to do is have several messages stored in a textfile, load them into coll and then output them one at a time. Is this possible, everytime I try and load a text file into coll I get the error ...

"coll: bad atom
error (miXed): coll: error reading text file 'C:/Documents and Settings/Donal/Desktop/pd project/clips/masterText.txt"


Thanks and regards
Donal
