Pd automatically interprets the spaces as delimiters for atoms, so you can use [list split 1] in a recursive loop (or iterative loop using [until] if the lines are really long, like hundreds of words), to split the line into a bunch of atoms.
Or send the line of text to: [list-abs/list-drip] from the list-abs library to split out into floats and symbols automatically. -Jonathan ----- Original Message ----- > From: Antonio Roberts <anto...@hellocatfood.com> > To: PD List <pd-list@iem.at> > Cc: > Sent: Sunday, November 11, 2012 3:14 PM > Subject: [PD] Read individual words from a text file > > Is there a way to read individual words from a text file?
