Will the [exportedevar] escape do the job?

You could setup a timer to do it, using the timer module, and have a *Script exec !LabelSetText Label %{var}

To answer the question... don't think so. Someone may have a better answer, though. =)

Can't xLabel read lines of text from a text file and display them? If you have mzScript autosaving your variables then you could just do it that way.

It does, but I think it'd still need an event to update. Worth a shot, though.

There is that module that monitors file changes... but I can't think of its name at the moment.

couldn't you just tell the xLabel to update every 5 minutes?

Yup, DeV, right you are. Had a closer look, and there's an UpdateAlways option, which you can set an update interval for. I did a quick test, and it works like a charm.

The thing that threw me off is that the readme says to use AutoRecycle-1.0 for "interactive/automatically usage of the Text Extraction Escape Sequences," so that's kind of misleading. Much better just to set UpdateAlways instead of loading another module which probably uses its own update interval, and by the looks of its readme, actually recycles litestep. >.<

Anyway, there's your answer, jqubit. :D

Thanks for the responses.

Doesn't updateAlways use a crapload more memory?

I only checked cpu usage when I tested it out. Didn't hurt that at all. I don't imagine it would really touch much memory, unless there was a weird leak or something.
