Read from .DAT file

awesome thank you so much

Ok, get this and install it:

Xample.rmskin

What this will do is read a sample .dat file in the folder with this info:

Code: Select all

Line1:Value1
Line2:Value2
Line3:Value3
Line4:Value4
Line5:Value5
Line6:Value6
Line7:Value7
Line8:Value8
Line9:Value9
Line10:Value10
Line11:Value11
Line12:Value12
Line13:Value13
Line14:Value14
Line15:Value15
Line16:Value16
Line17:Value17
Line18:Value18
Line19:Value19
Line20:Value20

So just 20 lines with some random stuff in them.

It will display three lines from the file, determined by some variables set in the skin .ini file.

So take a look at Xample.ini, the skin, to see how I am setting variables and the script measure, and how I am setting up the three meters to display the results.

Then open Xample.lua in an editor so you can see what it is doing. If you haven't messed with Lua, and particularly our implementation, it might seem a bt daunting. It's not really complicated though, and we can talk in through in this thread if you have questions.
