coll uses a special format to store its data, it always uses an ID, then a comma and then the message content. this has some advantages (sorting, lookup) but does not work with all textfiles. I suggest to use textfile or messagefile. or, if you want to use coll, then look at the fileformat and save your textfiles, for example like 1, first message; 2, lalalal; 3, and so on; 4, 123 40734 9831 1320487132 132; marius

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
