Im trying to insert a counter so that after every bang it goes to another file in a sequence. Please could someone give me some tips?
Greatly appreciated, thank you

what do you mean?
basically, a counter with increment 1 can be done like this:

[bang(
|
[f]X[+ 1] <----feedback into the cold (right) inlet of [f]
|
[mod X] <----counter wraps between 0 and X-1
|
[nbx\

Lazy way with pd-extended on Linux:

[counter] and [playlist]

Send the message "seek $1" to playlist it will send the files path in sequence and behave like a round list (see the help file).
