what's wrong with this read message to coll
sprintf read /Users/ctrlzjones/Desktop/_Projects/Max:MSP 2026/BeatMe2022/Archive/Presets/WordCutColls/%s
Those are the error messages I receive...
coll: extra arguments for message "read"
coll: can't find file /Users/ctrlzjones/Desktop/_Projects/Max:MSP
You have a space in your path, so it gets interpreted as two arguments.
Instead do [sprintf symout /Users/ctrlzjones/Desktop/_Projects/Max:MSP 2026/BeatMe2022/Archive/Presets/WordCutColls/%s]
and put a [prepend read] just after.
The symout argument for [sprintf] will make the output to be a single symbol (equivalent to throwing a [tosymbol] after [sprintf]).

You were both right, obrigado.
