OK I have given up on my quest for a patch to do exactly what I needed. So I am reaching out once more for a more simpler patch.

Does anyone have a QC project that will scroll a list of text (either from a file or from a copy and paste input) vertically and then loop from the begining? I know this might be a elementary question but I do appreciate everyones help.

There's a patch for splitting strings (string components I think it's
called). Use that, set the splitting character to a comma, and you'll
have a nice structure with all your separate bits of text in it.

After that, you need a way to display it well. You could just show one
string at a time, or you could use an iterator to show several. Say
you want 10 lines on screen, you'd have an iterator set to 10
iterations, and you need to swap each sprite/billboard out for the
next item when it moves off-screen (this is the tricky part!). I've
used this method to do very long scroll texts before now, with
per-character animation.

Let me know if that's helpful, I'll see if I can dig out an example.

So after a night of googling I still haven't found a solution to my
question.

New question. Is there a way to render out formatted comma seperated text in QC? Or is there a way to point QC to a plain text file and have it render it
out?

Thanks again for the list help?

Not much help, but my idea would involve hacking a slideshow qtz and
an XML reader together and exporting your number list into an XML
format.

http://kineme.net/release/FileTools/04 might be of assistance too.

Looking for direction on how I would accomplish displaying comma
separated
text from a text file or a Excel (or number :) ) spreadsheet. Ideally I
would like to display the text and then have it fade
out to display the next line of text and so on. If someone could point me
in
the right direction I would appreciate it. Hopefully there is a QC
project
out there somewhere.
Thanks
