Hi, I have a patch where I'm writing one line of text to a .txt file and want to read it, both using [textfile]. Seems simple enough, but I can in no way shape or form get output once I have written the txt file (though the helppfile example works fine). The file IS there in the directory; in fact, sending a [print( message causes the string from the txt file to be sent to the console just fine. So, it IS in the qlist. I just CAN"T get it out of the textfile output in the normal way (bang). I can use the [print( and see it at the console, but the message it sends out does not register anything on my debug-o-meter (not even undefined!):

[route bang float symbol list anything ]
| | | | | | |
[o] [o] [o] [o] [o] [o] [o]
So, this is mystifying, and so far useless.
Hints welcom...
