ok, i tried some more and i would love to do this in pd only since i want to redistribute it. textfile in conjunction with unpack should do the job but only if i can ignore the semicolon in the textfile somehow? if this would not make a “newline” i could unpack [f s f s f s f] the list and i would be fine i think…
cheers

hi list,
i’m trying to parse a textfile and use some numbers as parameters in a patch. unfortunately i can’t change the way the textfile is formatted, since it has to be compatible with another program. the first lines look like this:
0 ; field: 0 poti: 0 ser.no.: 1 0 ; field: 0 poti: 1 ser.no.: 2 0 ; field: 0 poti: 2 ser.no.: 3 127 ; field: 0 poti: 3 ser.no.: 4 0 ; field: 0 poti: 4 ser.no.: 5 22 ; field: 0 poti: 5 ser.no.: 6 76 ; field: 0 poti: 6 ser.no.: 7 0 ; field: 0 poti: 7 ser.no.: 8 127 ; field: 0 poti: 8 ser.no.: 9 0 ; field: 0 poti: 9 ser.no.: 10 0 ; field: 0 poti: 10 ser.no.: 11 32 ; field: 0 poti: 11 ser.no.: 12 0 ; field: 1 poti: 0 ser.no.: 13 17 ; field: 1 poti: 1 ser.no.: 14 0 ; field: 1 poti: 2 ser.no.: 15 0 ; field: 1 poti: 3 ser.no.: 16 0 ; field: 1 poti: 4 ser.no.: 17 0 ; field: 1 poti: 5 ser.no.: 18 1 ; field: 1 poti: 6 ser.no.: 19 0 ; field: 1 poti: 7 ser.no.: 20 64 ; field: 1 poti: 8 ser.no.: 21 0 ; field: 1 poti: 9 ser.no.: 22 0 ; field: 1 poti: 10 ser.no.: 23 0 ; field: 1 poti: 11 ser.no.: 24 0 ; field: 2 poti: 0 ser.no.: 25 -19 ; field: 2 poti: 1 ser.no.: 26 0 ; field: 2 poti: 2 ser.no.: 27 0 ; field: 2 poti: 3 ser.no.: 28 0 ; field: 2 poti: 4 ser.no.: 29 0 ; field: 2 poti: 5 ser.no.: 30 1 ; field: 2 poti: 6 ser.no.: 31 0 ; field: 2 poti: 7 ser.no.: 32 64 ; field: 2 poti: 8 ser.no.: 33 0 ; field: 2 poti: 9 ser.no.: 34 0 ; field: 2 poti: 10 ser.no.: 35 0 ; field: 2 poti: 11 ser.no.: 36
basically i just need the first number of every line since that is the parameter. is there a way to route this based on the ser.no (since that is unique) or can i route the number to a send just by line? (i.e. number from first line goes to [s pitch1] number from 2nd line to [s pitch1_fine])
when i open the file with [read example.txt cr] i get all the parameters on separate lines, since pd starts a new line for all semicolons and all newlines. so if i could just read every second line i would be fine as well.
to further complicate things i should also be able to write files in that format… and it should all be in vanilla!
is this even doable in pd?
attached is an example preset file
thanks for any insights and sorry for the questions, i just never really worked with file parsing.
