Just used your patch I'm in awe, that's not "just to get me started" , I will study up on it, and again thank you very much @whale-av.

Hello whale-av good to see you again. thanks for the help, I was just reading up on arrays from here: http://en.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/dataflow-tutorials/arrays-graphs-tables/

thanks again.

Hello everyone here's what I'm trying to do. Import 1output.dat this list of frequencies to the [osc~ ] in PD, any suggestions of how can I go about to do this?
I would appreciate any tips, thanks in advanced.

@hellocatfood I've also found Davis Schaffer version before, but for some reason didn't run on my PC also. But thanks to you, @whale-av, @alexandros and everyone that helped on this post, things are going well. Thanks for the information and patience.

@whale-av Thank you very much, I will dedicate time to understand the workings of the patch. I've seen this patch before on the hellocatfood blog, but was not able to download a working version of it. o/

@alexandros Hello It's been a while, I've been trying to make the patch work on my own, but I still don't get it. When I tell it to output a .bmp ( I switch from jpg to bmp its a simpler file format) file from the [textfile] the .bmp file it outputs has content but I can never open it its to corrupted. This is as far as I got, I tried to add a message to it so it could be a form of glitching it.

Thanks for all the help and instructions so far

@alexandros Thank you very much for your instructions and patient, it does indeed work as you told me, there are a few issues that hopefully you will be able to clarify.

• The byte information that is being printed seems to have no end, is this due it being in byte format and just being that huge, or will it repeat itself from the start if I just keep sending it a bang. Furthermore is there any way to convert the data on the console in ascii code? It is of my interest to keep it in ascii, for my better comprehension and also so that a little alteration of the data would result in a bigger outcome, plus it will be a major part for the artistic side of the project.

• The last one is, can the information being printed on the console be printed on the canvas?

Thank you again for you collaboration, I have been months stuck on theses points.

@Alexandros and @Liamg Thank you for the reply, I have tried your suggestions but rewind seem to be of no avail, doesn't seem to do anything. And I am using the [moocow/any2bytes] instead of [list fromsymbol] as Liamg suggested, but the same error still appears. This might just be my noobness, so I am attaching the updated patch to the message on the hope you may have some time to inspect it and see if I'm doing something incorrectly which is most likely the case.
Thank you againproject jpg.pd

Thanks for the reply Johnny, the hellocatfood one I know, the manticore one is new info thanks, But sadly I understand nothing of the workings of the github. Both are interesting but have a different approach to the problem I propose.

Hello, I should probably start up saying that I'm very new to PD, but I'm trying to make a patch that would read a JPG file as text basically outputting the ascii of the said JPG file to the canvas in some way I could manipulate it, and then save it back to a JPG, I just want to recreate the normal glitching processes but in pure data.

The problem:
I do not know how to print the ascii of the jpg file to the canvas it only prints to the console and not all of the information, there is an error at the end:

**error: ** extra characters after close-brace

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance
