I'm building a patch that takes a text file and selects random lines to display
I've been looking for an object similar to [textedit] Max/MSP so I can display the text with formatting (i.e. type size, font, color etc)
does anyone happen to know if there is a similar object as [textedit] for pd? or something that would work in its place? thanks in advance!
CHeck out msgfile in zexy or coll in cyclone. Or textfile in vanilla
if you like really simple.

I am using the msgfile to read in and access lines at random and it is a nice object (although I wish it would give me the number of lines in a text file) but AFAIK it cannot be used to DISPLAY text - if I understand the help file correctly
do you know of something that can display text similar to the [textedit] object in Max/MSP? thanks for your help! KIM
