hi list

I'm trying to read a filename from a textfile list.

I got the filename in pd but if I like to get this filename in a messagebox with $1, pd got an error:

error: $1: argument number out of range

trying to get the filename in makesymbol or makefilename:

error: makesymbol: no method for 'filename.blah'

maybe someone can tell me, why this doesn't work and what would be a working solution.

thanx a lot philipp

part of my patch that does not work:

|bang(

| __________ |textfile|

| ___________ |symbol $1(

| ______________________ |makefilename path/%s{
