i have an external that i'm working on that is being very

tempermental at the moment. i have the following code right BEFORE everything else in my ~.c file:

static float bhrir_l[25][50][512]; static float bhrir_r[25][50][512];

static void readfile(void) { t_int az, el, i;

FILE *fid; fid = fopen("hrir.bin", "r"); for(az=0; az<=24; az++) { for(el=0; el<=49; el++) /*takes from hrir.bin all hrtfs and arrays them*/ { fread(bhrir_l[az][el], sizeof(float), 200, fid); for(i=200; i<=511; i++){bhrir_l[az][el][i]=0;} /*adds a bunch of zeroes*/ fread(bhrir_r[az][el], sizeof(float), 200, fid); for(i=200; i<=511; i++){bhrir_r[az][el][i]=0;}

} }

}

   this code takes a binary file and takes a bunch of data and

arranges it in the two 3-dimensional arrays. when i try to access the arrays inside of my perform function, all i get is zeros. do i need to declare the arrays and fill them up somewhere else? i was thinking that i might need the arrays to be inside Pd's internal data struct, but i'm not sure. any help is appreciated!
