hi toby since [textfile] doesn't provide any mechanism to jump to a certain line, you need to step through all lines from the beginning. this conflicts with your intention to only read certain lines out, not all of them. you could solve this conflict by appending a [spigot] object to [textfile]. [

the problem with timer is, that it only sends an output, when banged. you could bang it with some insane rate using a [metro 1000] and according to the measured (real)time, you send a bang or not. this approach would *might* work, but it has several disadvantages, if i do understand the underlyin
