Hi guys,

Long time no (little) contribution from me in the forums, I apologise, I have been making the most of my summer holidays... But you will all no doubt be pleased to know that I'm getting myself back on track again.

I was never good at doing file and list and string related stuff in pd, and I know some of you have the knack for it. I probably would be able to work it out if I spent hours an hours randomly going through the help-browsers abstractions, but I'm willing to give your generosity a shot.

Now here's my problem.

I want to have a text file that contains my scale in midi numbers, i.e.

60
62
64
65
67
69
71
72

then in pd i want it to read through the file, one line at a time appending the line number to the beginning so it sends out the messages

0 60
1 62
2 64

e.t.c.

so that i can [route] them into into their respective abstractions that will [mtof] and feed it into [osc~]

can you help?

thanks so much

use text file as a list and use [list-enumerate].

thanks toxonic, everything i needed was contained within the help of [list-enumerate] and [textfile]
