hi list. seems that i still cannot get over this problem.

i am sending some name of the files to be read by 'soundfiler'. but it 
seems that the 'read' message doesn't recognize the $1 sign.

e.g. sending a.wav 
             |
             read -resize $1 arrayname        (in a message box)
             |
             soundfiler

the error message either said there's no such file, or there's some 
argument/flag error towards 'read'.

it must be really easy for u guys to answer this question i guess.
thank you so much.

regards
Jay
