      Hi, I was wandering if there is a data array for text? I want to load one line of text in a particular order at any time. The load text file actor works great for a file but not one line.

      I'm using the Text/ure actor as a work around, however copying the text from a text file and then pasting it in the text/ure actor will be a problem for me down the road.

      Or if I could point the Text/ure actor at a file that work work too. Or Load File actor to load into the Text/ure actor.

      Thanks.

        I dont believe there is a data array option yet.

        I would suggest the javascript actor. JS has many options for text manipulation.

        And you can read the text from an external file as well.

                 Have a look at the 'ReadTextFromFile' plugin https://community.troikatronix...

                it was written by djinoui 4 years ago here is the original thread with Mac and Windows plugins https://community.troikatronix...
