hmmm. i did try that but it seems to stumble at the first space in the full path (as pure data does)
unfortunately the patch will need to be ported around when it's done so specifying a full path won't fulfill my needs.
is there a .dll of the midifile external for w32 knocking around for which this read message works for shortened paths?
again, thanks all of you for your time!

I think what is happening is that [midifile] is expecting a full path for the file name when using read. This is why it works for the [openpanel] because it returns a complete path. Did you try using the full path with [read $1(?

thanks for the quick reply again martin,
it's a strange problem that i seem to be having.
because i definitely have all the midifiles in the same folder as the patch but
[midifile test.mid] ...or... [read test.mid(---[midifile] gives... 'error: midifile: unable to open test.mid'
but when i do [bang]---[openpanel]---[read $1(---[midifile] and point it to 'test.mid' it seems to work?
hmmmm... unfortunately for what i want to do i need to be able to automate opening different midifiles.
i'm using your zip from http://puredata.info/Members/martinrp/midifile/midifile.zip/view
thanks again in advance!

hi
martin,
been
trying your midifile object and it's working nicely.
great!
is
there a way to send it a [read test.mid{ message or a [read
folder/test.mid{
message?
i
need to automate opening a bunch of files without using the 'openpanel'
object.
Just like that. Or send a message or symbol containing the path to the [read $1( message. It's probably easier if all the files are in the same directory as the patch.
