I'm looking at the text.help file in MAX. I am trying to load in a .txt file which is stored in the text object(this works). What I'm trying to do is show the contents of the loaded .txt file into a message box.

I tried that but it just prints set in the msg box over and over.

I'm confused... the help file for [text] shows you how to get the contents to appear in a message box, and it's working fine for me here.

What sort of text do you have within the file that you are trying to read? Keep in mind that certain special characters (i.e. a comma) have special meaning in Max messages and could cause you some problems. Do you have an example patch that shows what you are trying to do, and the error you are receiving?

ok, what I want to do is pass the text into the message box pictured below so that I can then use the rezumai java class, still not having much luck. For the parsing to work the text must start and end with " ", do you think this might be causing me a problem?

God, do yourself a favor and take time to go to deviantart.com to do 

some plastic surgery to your windows theme :-)

Ah, you see, I don't need a hammer with a chrome exhaust tip. But that's a matter of taste and may well vary with age.
