Hi

I am stuck on a programme where I need to have my list variable start at line one on my .txt file then go on to line two of the same text file and pop up the details. The part where I am stuck is getting scratch to go to line two without using the block < Line from file >if that makes any sense

Thanks

What I am trying to say is how do i get it to programme into line one then have it go to line 2 in the .txt file

Scratch doesn't have a line from file block.

That my friend would be easier than you think.

How do I go about it then lol

A “list variable” isn't like an index or reference to a location in a list, it is the list itself. Scratch doesn't have the capabilities to read and write directly to .txt files, but if you shift-click on a list's watcher on the stage you can import or export to/from a text file.
To read a list line by line, try a script like this. (list) is a list, the enter you want broken up, (i) is a temporary variable, and (res) contains each broken piece of the list.

hopefully that helps

set [i] to (0)
repeat (length of [list])
 change [i] by (1)
 set [res] to (item (i) of [list])
 [do whatever processing you want to do here]
/repeat

hopefully that helps

That did help and had it working fantastically, but one more quick question is there a way of programming scratch to import the .txt file to the list from a stack?

Thank you again

It's ok I have done that part now lol. Buggered on trying to get the value of a list from 1 - 12 into other lists in order of numbers. Hmmm

Think I have cracked that one now as well. Wahoo. Going well
