reading text files
Greetings;
i'm a student and this semester for an academic project, i must use
max msp in order to read 2 separate text files with letters... i've
made a patch that reads lines sequencially, yet the list is a sequence
of genomes (C,G,T,A letters) and the format is in a few letters per
line. i could make it work, yet i would spend weeks formatting the text
in order to have a letter per line.
my question is if there is a method to read letter by letter from an
external text file, and read a letter every 3 seconds.. this i know it
can be controled with a metro, yet i don't work well with lists or
external files.
i hope someone can help me out sorting this problem out.
Many thanks,
Bruno Gustavo Costa

Hey, havent tried this myself, but you will probably find something that would good for the job in the L-objects (you should be able to find these on maxobjects.com.
Hope they help

Try this. It needs Peter Elsea's Lobjects, and probably needs some
cleaning up, but you'll get the idea.

This patch you made works perfectly, yet the first line is repeated
twice... i've tried to add a minimum cont value of 1 to the counter
object, changed the start to 1 yet, it keeps repeating the first line.
is there a way to bypass this repetition?
The patch works.
Obrigado professor.
