hi handling text with pd is not that easy. i think i didn't understand e quite elementar thing in pd. what is the diffrence between symbols (generated by msgbox like[symbol dog] or [openpanel]-output) and the output from [textfile]-obj. both can be printed out, but you can't do anything with the [textfile]-output.
i'd like to output single words from a textfile using the [textfile]-obj and handle them like symbols. how can i create symbols from [textfile]-output?
thanxs for helping
