Hi,
I'm trying to read text from textfiles in pd and display sentences with the text object in gem. However, I am having a few problems.
I'm reading sentences with textefile, which works well. I read lines in the textfile one by one, which I want to send as lists to the text3d object. What comes out of the textfile object is something like:
"list the dog is asleep"
which I need to convert to:
"text the dog is asleep"
How do I do that in pd?
Two corollary questions:
1) is there an escape character that can be used in the message object, or otherwise a way to store the "space" character in a text object as a list element?
2) is there a way to count the number of elements in a list?
Thanks!
