Conditional text import in IC100?

Posted: Tuesday, 10/22/2002 -- by Michael Simonds. Subject: Conditional text import in IC100?

I have a TV playback schedule from a Tilt-Rac system that I am exporting as a text file, and then having IC100 import the event as
!line1
!line2
!line3

..and so on.

From the text file, we manually copy all of the events for Monday, and make a file called Monday.txt, one for Tuesday etc.

When originally exported the events look something like this

channel date start time description

On our web site, I am able to parse (asp and VBscript) the text file and create variables out of each value on each line. The server simply loops through the file and only shows certain events based on certain conditions.

So my question is, is there a way to do that with ScalaScript in IC100? Import a text file, split each line into a couple of variables, and then apply it to conditional statements?

For example: I have a .sca file called 16tuesday. This file shows all evetns for tuesday. What I am trying to accomplish is

If "this line" = 16 and !time < start time then show !line.

Is this possible? Thanks for any help you can provide!

I hear IC3 can support VBscript, in which case, I already have the code written, but I need to do this in IC100.

Any pointers for Michael on how to accomplish this in IC100?

The Scala Website requires that JavaScript (Active Scripting) be enabled.

Please go to Tools, Internet Options under the Menus. Select the Security Tab, then Custom Level button. Then click the Enable button under Scripting / Active Scripting. Hit OK, then OK again to exit requestors. You will know it's working when you see a "More" link in the links beneath the Tabs.

You can still use the website without changing this setting, but certain features will be disabled.
