Hello,

Anybody can tell me how I could call up individual lines from a .txt file by line number for example or by the first number in this line?

text.txt file containing;

0 61 112 ;
192 61 0 ;
192 63 112 ;
384 63 0 ;
384 64 112 ;
576 64 0 ;
576 62 112 ;
768 62 0 ;

I would like to call up individual lines into a list. For example line 4 would give me the following list; 384 63 0. Or how could I call up the first line that starts with 576 or the second line that starts with 576 or the first line that is greather than 700?

Thanks,

easiest way is with the [msgfile] external.

for a pure pd way, look for "list abs"

msgfile works fine, what do you mean by 'list abs"?

thanks hardoff

there is a folder of abstractions called 'list abs'. (or maybe "list-abs")

you can find it by looking through the help resource in pd-extended.

Thanks, I found it, there really is a lot of abstractions in there.
