@rjpg i've been trying to use qlist to read in floating points from a .txt file. The txt file looks like this:
variablename1 4.0;
variablename2 3.2;
variablename3 659.0;
etc.....
in order to read in any of these values, qlist requires me to make an object like [r variablename1] and output the value 4.0 from there
which works, for this one abstraction, but if i wish to use multiples of the same abstraction in the same patch, the [r variablename1] objects need to be localized.
My initial thought was, write "$0-variablename1 4.0;" to the .txt file instead of "variablename1 4.0;" however, a [r $0-variablename1] object just flat out don't work.
So my other thoughts were
- is there a way to just load in as a symbol "variablename1"?
which appears to require slist and iem_pb but seems unnecessarily complicated
or - can i create an [r symbol] like instance that will allow me to import from qlist the number 4.0 if i pass it the symbol "variablename1"?
