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?
Or if it's plain text, use "read file.txt" (for ';'-terminated messages) or "read cr file.txt" (for one message per line) and [textfile].
Then output one at a time with "rewind" and "bang", iirc.
However, if you need random access, then indeed [textfile] is insufficient and/or inefficient.
Hope this helps,

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
