and Max tells me ''errors in text file in line 2''

1, 0 0 0;

and Max tells me ''errors in text file in line 2''
the coll is ''saved with patcher''
It seems to work the way I want, though.
Is this a bug ?

Wild guess: Any invisible gremlins in your text file? Maybe a non-breaking space?

I ended up adding several lines to this coll, and it works fine now.

No idea what it was though. I had already tried to erase invisible space...

Thanks for your replies.

Anyway, thanks again.


I've experienced error messages in coll objects for a few years now without really understanding why this is happening.

The coll objects behave the way they're supposed to, but I always have an error in the Max Console "coll: (name): errors in text file in line n".

For example, this coll is called times and it's save with patcher:

and Max console says "coll: times: errors in text file in line 1"

I am working on a patch for a performer and I really want to get rid of the errors in the Max Console if possible.

any ideas appreciated, thanks


I also had this problem, and found the way to solve it was to copy and paste your data into the [coll] object, and then use the write command to write a new file. The [coll] object will then be able to read the new .txt file as well as accepting the file in the [coll] argument.

The thing is I usually "save data with patcher" but I'll try.

I got so used to these error messages that I don't notice them anymore.

ah ok, thanks.

Error in coll ? I don't get it.
