I'm looking at the textfile and qlist objects to load a bunch of samples in a corresponding bunch of tables, but i just can't seem to get it right. Could someone please explain how to properly use textfile/qlist, because with the included help i didn't come very far.

Thanx in advance,

D.

here are some diagrams, maybe help you out.

to load your files:

[r $0-file]
|
| [r $0-reset]
| |
[t a b] [0 (
| \ /
| [f ]x[+ 1]
| |
|
|
| [r $0-number-of-samples]
| |
[pack s f]
|
[read -resize $1 $2-arrayname(
|
[soundfiler]
| [r $0-number-of-samples]
| \
[tabwrite lengths]

[r $0-file] (from the load section)
|
[add $1(
|

then, to save the current group of samplenames:

[0]
|
[savepanel]
|
[write $1(
|

to load a .txt file :

[0] (bang)
|
[t b b b b b ]
| | | | \
| [r $0-number-of-samples] |
| | | | |
[f ] | | |
| | | |
[until] [rewind( [read $1( [clear(
| \ \ \
| \ \
| \ \
| \
| \
|
|
|

* the [playlist] external is in the unauthorized library, and is created like this:

[playlist all 200 200] (all=filetypes to accept, 200 200 = dimensions)

unfortunately i don't think it works on windows machines. it should be included with normal pd-extended distros for other architectures though.

Hardoff, you're amazing, but you probably knew that already yourself

It was actually the [rewind( message that i needed to know about. Very confusing that it's not mentioned in the help file.

once the pdpedia wiki is up and running properly i will add these sort of docs to that.

but with actual screenshots and links to patches rather than these crude ascii pics.

hopefully it's going to be a really good resource.

here here. I am almost carpel tunneled out of [( [] | \ / symbol combinations.

Best ascii diagram thread EVAAA!!!!!
