      Thanks djinoui. I have just reinstalled xCode and I downloaded IsadoraSDK so I might have a go and see what I can do ;) No promises - this is well out of my comfort zone! haha.

        Don't hesitate to ask if you have a doubt about the code (although I don't understand it 100% myself ^^).

        And for those who wonder how to install the compiled plugin under Windows : just copy the .dll file into 'IsadoraInstallationFolder\Isadora Plugins', e.g. C:\Program Files\Isadora\Isadora Plugins. Don't forget to restart Isadora. The plugin should then show up in the list.

            Hello,

            I also tried to open it on Xcode  and tried to reproduce what djinoui wrote but as Grahm it's far out of my comfort zone!!! :-)

            So I'm getting 6 errors wich I understand about the same as if it were Chinese!

            Any Ideas?

            Thanks guys for helping

              Oh it seems that all 6 errors are related to the _stat function, which is Windows-only. Try to remove the underscores (stat instead of _stat) in faulty lines and see if it compiles.

              stat seems to be a C function, not C++, so I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try.
              Maybe you will also have to change this line:
              size_t fileSize = -1; // file size (from stat() function)
              to
              off_t fileSize = -1; // file size (from stat() function)

                GREAT! Thank you!!!

                It still gives an error but the plugin works anyway!
                I managed to read a file (on the old mac I tried with isadora 1.3.0f17).

                attached you can find the .izzyplug working!

                Thanks again

                        great plugin, great work.

                        i downloaded it to play with and found that (i'm on a mac) the text needed to be written with text wrangler rather than text edit for the plugin to read just the text.  i wonder if i've missed something in text edit?

                          Mmmmm... My assumption is that the default line endings are different in TextEdit and TextWrangler. Could you please post a sample of each text file, one created with TextEdit and the other one with TextWrangler ? So I could check how they are formatted.

                            sure no problem.

                            ring.txt is made in text wrangler
                            once.txt is made in text edit
                            also is attached an image file of what the actor outputs with the text edit file
                            hope this helps.

                              Apparently TextEdit wrote the file using the RTF format, not plain text. RTF stores formatting (font, color...) information along with the text. That's why you get {\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252....etc. Just make sure you write your file in plain text with no formatting (or use another editor, which you did).

                              About line-endings : ring.txt has no line endings, but once.txt has LF line-endings in it, which are usually used on Unix OSes. I've read that MacOSX is built upon a Unix system, so if you use this OS (and I suppose you do), you will have to select 'unix' linebreak mode, not 'mac'.

                                  Very useful plugin.. thank-you!

                                  This is my first use of the plugin:
                                  https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10153251586530464
                                  this example only shows one line of text being read, but so far it is working with 30 lines looping..
