Is there anythign that I could use to put a dif. defined string of text onto my desktop each day? for example I want to put the time for high and low tide at my local beach on my desktop. is there anything that could print a diferent defined string of text each day?
label :) if you have the text in a file on your computer.
what action would I use? I saw the random action but I don't want it to be random. I'm looking in the help as I speak, but all I see is the random action.
you have to use mzscript to pick the right line and assign it to labeltext.
ok thanks..... I guess I better learn howto use mzscript now.
thank you for the help Egonz.
np :) if you need any help with mzscript feel free to ask ;)
I NEED HELP WITH MZSCRIPT ;) I have never used it. I have it loaded but not sure how to use it. ANY help with it would be good.
AFAIK you cannot parse text files with mzscript alone, unless you format them cleverly for use as evars or a *mzVarfile or something.
To use label's randomLine function in a predictable manner you would have to have your text file have only one line..
What is the source of the data (flat text file, website?)
I believe this would require some other sort of scripting (batch file?) ;X
hhmm..... thanks Devilboi, thank you tnl. So there is realy no way I could complete this by just using litestep? I don't realy understand what you are saying tnl. thanks to all who have help. :)
You could write a script to do the calculations to figure out if it is high or low tide and print it out and not use the text file at all.
