hmmm. i did try that but it seems to stumble at the first space in the full
path (as pure data does)
unfortunately the patch will need to be ported around when it's done so
specifying a full path won't fulfill my needs.
is there a .dll of the midifile external for w32 knocking around for which this
read message works for shortened paths?
again, thanks all of you for your time!

I think what is happening is that [midifile] is expecting a full path for the
file name when using read. This is why it works for the [openpanel] because it
returns a complete path. Did you try using the full path with [read $1(?

thanks for the quick reply again martin,
it's a strange problem that i seem to be having.
because i definitely have all the midifiles in the same folder as the patch but
[midifile test.mid]
...or...
[read test.mid(---[midifile]
gives... 'error: midifile: unable to open test.mid'
but when i do
[bang]---[openpanel]---[read $1(---[midifile]
and point it to 'test.mid' it seems to work?
hmmmm...
unfortunately for what i want to do i need to be able to automate opening
different midifiles.
i'm using your zip from
http://puredata.info/Members/martinrp/midifile/midifile.zip/view
thanks again in advance!

Just
like
that.
Or
send
a
message
or
symbol
containing
the
path
to
the
[read
$1(
message.
It's
probably
easier
if
all
the
files
are
in
the
same
directory
as
the
patch.
