I’m wondering if exist a method to read a file like a .txt without using dropfile or without calling the address like (read “my_Disc:/Max/VideoPlayer/data/horario.txt”).

I need to install a patch in several computers and I don’t want to spend some time dragging the files into dropfile in every computer. I think there is a simple way to tell the patch search in his own carpets but I'm not sure how to do that.

calling-files-automatically

 will open your text file at startup in the 

 is in Max' search patch. If you put your file in the same folder as your patch, it should work.

text horario.txt will open your text file at startup in the text object (same thing with coll for instance) as long as horario.txt is in Max' search patch. If you put your file in the same folder as your patch, it should work.


here's a more generic method that can be useful for storing/reading from particular folders. It's particularly useful in standalones.
