I'm trying to extract one of three number columns from a text file to drive the pitch of an audio oscillator.
I have the .txt file reading all 3 columns of numbers into an array at present but I only want the second column.
I don't yet understand why you are reading the numbers into an array?
Anyway, assuming you use [textfile] to read in the file, you can extract the middle number of each row using a message box with [$2( in it.
An alternative approach is to load your external data into data structures. That's a bit more advanced, but very flexible.
