[PD] Reading txt file inside folder

[Ronni Montoya]

hi,    [read ../data/colors.txt ( doesnt work here on macosx.

I ve tried in the following way and it worked.

[ read data/colors.txt (


I was wondering if the way im doing this will allow the patch to work
only on macosx?

If yes, is there is a way of solving this?
