Oh silly me. You need to look at the syntax for using readsf~ - it's more complicated. First, readsf~ needs an open message e.g. "open 001test.wav", then it needs a "1" to start playback. Forgive me if you already know this, but you can string 2 messages together with a comma. And to get the filename from textfile into a message like that, you need to use $1 as a placeholder. So between textfile and readsf~ you need a message saying something like "open $1, 1". That'll turn into 2 messages: "open 001test.wav" and then "1". If the files are in the same directory as the patch, it should work (I think).

Cheers

I had my hopes up but adding the semicolon to the end didn't help.

I have all the files in the same directory and for whatever reason it
just refuses to play.  I don't even have any errors on the Puredata
Log screen.  Any other ideas?

Thanks
