GEN23
GEN23 — Reads numeric values from a text file.
Initialization
"filename.txt" -- numeric values contained in "filename.txt" (which indicates the complete pathname of the character file to be read), can be separated by spaces, tabs, newline characters or commas.
size -- number of points in the table. Must be a power of 2 , power of 2 + 1, or zero. If size = 0, table size is determined by the number of numeric values in filename.txt. (New in Csound version 3.57)

Examples
Here is an example of the GEN23 generator. It uses the file gen23.csd and spectrum.txt.
Example 1116. Example of the GEN23 generator.
See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.
