I was wondering if it it possible to read data from a textfile? I have written a program which outputs a list of roughly a thousand frequencies, it is possible to read this data systematically one after another until an oscillator has read all the frequencies, it's rather like having a thousand message boxs being banged, one after another, using a metro as a timing device, which is obviously not an option! Thanks in advance!

Hi Rory,
Two solutions. First you could read it into an "array" object and sequence it; or else, if the text file gets more complicated than just a list of numbers, the "textfile" object will probably do what you need.

Is the textfile object supposed to automatically send messages, that are in a textfile?
I have used a textfile to store some settings of a synth patch like: p-index1 0.5; p-index2 1; [...]
When I tried to read this with [textfile] I could not get the values in my [read p-index#] objects. I then used qlist instead.
