Hey Everyone, I'm using felix 2007 to analyze my data, and I wonder if it is possible to read external text files. Basically what I want to do is to get some parameters from a .txt file, fill them into a macro and compute data using these values. In a pseudo code what I would like to do is:

open external file
read file
for every line
   split string
   use values as parameters
   compute stuff
   write results

till now, what I figured out using .mac language is:

get  'full path to file: ' mything
opn txt &mything 2
for row 1 999
esc out
if &out ne 0 quit
rea 
str parse $str word count ' '
next

ty end
end

the problem is that rea does give an error, so I'm quite lost. any hint?

All the best
