Did you use [col] to create the textfile? Or is it a random textfile? Formatting is important. A sample:
1, ah_yes.wav; 2, hokoji.loop.wav; 3, kenchoji.loop.wav;
Maybe try to format it in this way?

Hi all Apoligies if this is not the correct place for asking these sorts of questions. Can the 'coll' object read items from a text file? What I want to do is have several messages stored in a textfile, load them into coll and then output them one at a time. Is this possible, everytime I try and load a text file into coll I get the error ... "coll: bad atom error (miXed): coll: error reading text file 'C:/Documents and Settings/Donal/Desktop/pd project/clips/masterText.txt" Thanks and regards Donal
