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.
