cant get this script to read properly, a little help please

[Mechanic]

i was trying to create a script that willl allow members to add info to create a story.  after working on it the script will add and restart but when i try to get it to read the story it will read 1 line and sometime read a second line twice but will not do any more than that.  can someone please help?   it requires 2 text files right now, one that actually has the story and a second one that has the line count for the story.

Code: [Select]

<command type="script">
<in>!readstory</in>
<out type="push" extdata="lines"><operator type="readfile" nvalue="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\lines.txt" lvalue="l" rvalue="1"/></out>
<out type="push" extdata="linecount2">1</out>
<out type="push" extdata="storyf"><operator type="readfile" nvalue="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\story.txt" lvalue="l" rvalue="$linecount2$"/></out>
<out type="push" extdata="linecount2"><operator type="+" lvalue="$linecount2$" rvalue=1/></out>
<out>$storyf$</out>
<out type="goto" condition="2" lvalue="$linecount2$" rvalue="$lines$" extdata="-4"></out>
</command>

<command type="script">
<in>!addstory %PARAMETER%</in>
<out type="push" extdata="lines"><operator type="readfile" nvalue="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\lines.txt" lvalue="l" rvalue="1"/></out>
<out type="push" extdata="lines"><operator type="+" lvalue="$lines$" rvalue="1"/></out>
<out type="file" mode="t" extdata="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\lines.txt">$lines$</out>
<out type="file" mode="a" extdata="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\story.txt">%PARAMETER%\n</out>
<out type="pm" extdata="%RAWNAME%">it has been added</out>
</command>

<OnOpMessage usergroup="MyRoomTopAdmins">
<in>!newstory</in>
<out type="file" mode="t" extdata="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\lines.txt">0</out>
<out type="file" mode="t" extdata="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\story.txt"> </out>
</OnOpMessage>

</config>

ive looked at it, havnt tried it though, but as it has only the 1 <out> on thdstory i may be rong but it could need multi-line <out>'s to show all the lins, but im not sure if that wud show that same 2 lines over & over

Code: [Select]

<in>!readstory</in>
<out type="push" extdata="lines"><operator type="readfile" nvalue="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\lines.txt" lvalue="l" rvalue="1"/></out>
<out type="push" extdata="linecount2">1</out>
<out type="push" extdata="storyf"><operator type="readfile" nvalue="D:\room config\Metis 2.6\Add-Ons\story\story.txt" lvalue="l" rvalue="$linecount2$"/></out>
<out type="push" extdata="linecount2"><operator type="+" lvalue="$linecount2$" rvalue=1/></out>
<out>$storyf$</out>
<out>$storyf$</out> //would this work? i dont know without running a test, i got no other ideas, sorry
<out>$storyf$</out>
<out type="goto" condition="2" lvalue="$linecount2$" rvalue="$lines$" extdata="-4"></out>
</command>

well i almost had it going by putting in a couple sleeps but that slowed it to much.  i tried delay and still gave me trouble as well as stepped backward some

This will read every line from top to bottom in the txt doc story. that should work for you.

Sorry forgot to say and will display each line in a new row on screen so long stories might spam the room abit. i use that part in a script im working on at the mo ill publish it soon. hope it works for you.
