Hi Jim, 

Like [soundfiler]’s “-resize” flag, this would be a very useful feature for array loading.


You can load a text file and then query its size, something like:

[read -c your_file, bang( 
|
[text] 
|\
[text size]
|
[array size your_array]

Best,

fede

Is there a way for the size of the array to take on the size of the text file automatically? If not how do I get the number of lines in the text file so I can resize the array accordingly?
