Just started with max/jitter so I'm a newbie here 

For a project, I'm reading words from a .txt file with 'coll'. I want to make the words appear letter by letter, so that it looks/feels like the text is written in real-time. Can someone help me on this one to get me started?

And subquestion for extra bonus points: how do I get some breaks between the lines in the text?

function bang(){// click bang to bang out the next letter

you could try a piece of javascript...
editfontsize = 14;

	this.b+=this.a[i];
	this.b+= " ";
	post(this.b);
	post();

var counter = 0;
function bang(){// click bang to bang out the next letter

Great, thanx. Overlooked the thread by stefan tiedje i guess.
