I've come a bit unstuck with parsing some structured text into Max and then sending it out as Midi CCs.

Essentially I have a file that describes all the parameters of a patch - it looks like this:

    ["hood.filKBTracking"] = 0.127551,

    ["hood.extAudioLevel"] = 0.496063,

I then have a list of the mappings of each parameter to a series of Midi CCs, this looks like this:

I would like to scale the first set of numbers using the Scale function to 0-127, and then output that to the appropriate CC as defined by the second file.

Any help very gratefully recieved - I've been messing around with Dict for about 2 hours! I'm comfortable with the midi formatting and output, I just have no idea how to manipulate the text files.
