I'm looking for a way to have a single, random line fetched from multiple text files, and then have that combination output somewhere, whether just to some field or another text file.
For example:
Text file A -
Text file B -
Text file C -
So it would go in, get a line from each, and display something like:
I know it's a weird-sounding example, but you get the point. The line choices don't have to be separated by hyphens, but they preferably would be separated by something, like a comma, semi-colon, slash, whatever.
I know this is pretty much a web coding forum, so that would be fine if I had to host it on my server or open it with a browser. But it would be optimal if this could be made into a standalone executable.
I'm basically looking for something like Random Line Picker [url], just with the added functionality I mentioned.
I'd be willing to make a little donation to someone if coding this would be a little difficult.
Trying to develop a small app for my site. What is the code to generate a random # of lines (1 min - 5 max) and a random phrase for each line sourced from a multidimensional array? These also need to be unduplicated (so I won't have quote 1 be on lines 1 and 4). How do I prevent random duplication with the generated lines of text?
I have designed a mail service in java.In my compose page,i want to attach some excel files of text files and to send it.After sending i want to store it my database.Then how can i download or open that file after opening that recipient mail inbox.
Can Jquery Detect How Many Lines of Text within a Div or A tag?
I am attempting to have different backgrounds depending on how many lines the left navigation takes up. For example if the item in the left nav only takes up one line it will have backgroundA. If the item in the left nav only takes up 2 lines it will have backgroundB etc.. Currently I have everything with backgroundA but there are a few that are taking up two lines or three lines and I can't shorten them as that is what the customer needs to have, but it looks horrible...
So can Jquery detect how many lines of text within a div or a tag and follow the css so it knows when it goes to another line and it can switch the background to something longer?
i need to remove all lines containing text from each line in downloaded.txt from the file download.txt.So I have a function Remcon.I need Remstr = to every line of downloaded.txt , and text ill fix my self.
function remcon() { var text = document.form_rli.input_output.value;
When I enter a text string for a document.write method it works AS LONG AS the text is all on one line. This is true in assigning a text string to a variable also. I like to write my documents so that they are readable. How do I get the text to be on multiple lines without getting the "unterminated string" error?
Does JQuery support multiple lines ellipsis for overflow text? That is, for example, Original text: This is a question about multiple lines ellipsis using JQuery Desired text: This is a question about, multiple lines ellipsis ... If yes, how to use it?
I have a website which contains pdf files of old school magazines. I can search individual files for strings using the Acrobat reader seach facility and I can use the Windows search facility to find files containing particular texts.
What I would like to do is put a facility on the website so the user can search and locate a text string in the whole group of files, perhaps going directly to the individual pages (of the pdf file). if this is feasible using javascript?
I am relatively new to java and have already tried many ways to write to text files with Java. Is there any way to write to a text file without overwriting what is already there??
So what happens is, that Firefox shows it correctly, but in IE it just writes ALL of the raw XML file data straight in a row (it does not use the stylesheet) why?
I have been trying so many solutions already. Could there be something in the XSL file that IE rejects but Firefox allows to be shown?
First of all, let me tell you that this is not a homework question, since i am no longer in college, i don't get homework. Ok now to the question => Can you please give me a little example java script to open and save text files
Could anyone link me to an example of how to read a text file into a javascript variable using mootools or jquery(or explain it yourself)? Mootools would be preferred because my jquery framework is a little archaic.
I can't find a very comprehensive example only directions for how to make requests and the examples don't explain how to use the input. Oh and I'll be using this script on my website and the text file will be located on the same server.
I've been working in VBA for quite some time, and would like to make some of my scripts available through a browser. One script will open a text file, parse it, and then commit the parsed results into an object. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this task in js...
How would I seperate a text string such that it would appear on seperate lines ie. Initial Input: StrMsg = "This is an example of a string that will appear on seperate lines" "Hoping that this fully works, there will be no errors and all will be well" "This is the last line of text."
I'm sure there's some fancy Ajax way to do this, but I'm looking for something simple. Is it possible to fetch a page from within a javascript function? Basically what I want to do is allow the user to click a button to add an item to a shopping cart *without* leaving the current page. Something like this:
<a href="javascript:addToCart()">Click to add this thing to the cart</a>
<script> function addToCart() { String results = fetchPage("http://mysite.com/addToCartPage.jsp?item-number=123"); alert(results); // shows a success or failure message } </script>
Unfortunately, I can't find any such fetchPage() function. Is there a simple, cross-browser way to do the same thing?
Is there any way I could fetch data from another web page?
Things like current weather, and rate of exchange?
I would search the data for example by
-loading a web page somehow (IFRAME?) -going through all <td> tags in it and -if the <td> had a spesific text, like "weather in Fooland" then -I'd jump to the next <td> tag and take the text inside it, that hopefully had the data I was looking for.
I used an IFRAME to load a web page. It's id is called "myiframe"
var myIframe = document.getElementById("myiframe") var iframeBody = myIframe.body; var paragraphs = iframeBody.getElementsByTagName("p"); document.write(paragraphs.length); //this writes 0! the page I loaded on the IFRAME has paragraph elements right on body. Why can't I find them?
I tried using node iterator (document.createNodeIterator() ? ) too, but that didn't work at all! I tried it without the IFRAME too. If you have any guesses what it might be, please tell me. Should it work in Mozilla? Should I create the node Iterator only after the page has finished loading?
I want to add a sort of news service to my site. I've a number of messages, wich I want to be shown in a <marquee> tag. I've found a simple scrit that generates an random message (wich I've putted in an array) and the message is shown in an marquee tag. The problem is that for changing the message, a reload of the page is required. Isn't there a way to reload the message? Or every time the marquee tag shows a message, it will be a differrent message? Or perhaps not using the marquee tag, but another way to scroll text trough a page? ...
i have a script that is close to working, but not quite. it loads 1 of 9 random images on pageload with the corresponding link on the image. that works fine. i am trying to also get the corresponding copy to appear next to it, but it seems to be totally random as well and not matching up with its proper image (for example, if image 5 loads, then copy 5 should be the one that loads). below is what i have.
HTML Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I'm trying to make a random quote in javascript but the timer doesnt work can someone help me?
<html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <script LANGUAGE=JAVASCRIPT> <!-- var banners = new Array( 'lee', 'dee', 'bee');
var old = 0; var current = 0;
function init() { while (current == old) { current = Math.floor(Math.random()*banners.length); } old = current; document.write(banners[current]); setTimeout('init()',3000); }
I am having trouble sending JSON data to a server. Its definitely reaching the parser.php, but I am not what to create in PHP to fetch this data. Also I am not sure my Javascript is correct.
<SCRIPT> var JSONObject = new Object; JSONObject.description = "hello"; JSONstring = JSON.stringify(JSONObject); runAjax(JSONstring);
I'm going through some "learning by doing" of javascript through trial and error, and admittedly have a lot to learn. But in taking various scripts and dissecting them, I still can't figure out if what I want to do is possible, and that is this:
I'm trying to include a paragraph on my page that is randomly chosen each time the page loads. This I can do. But in this paragraph I'm trying to include varied text formatting (parts bold, parts different color, etc), and make part of it a link.
If I use unformatted, un-linked text, it works fine, but that's not my goal. When I try including html in the items from which to be selected randomly, whether by directly specifying the attributes or using CSS class references, nothing displays, which makes me wonder what of all this is the problem.
New to JS, and not too good at it. Trying to take some prewritten code and add script that displays some random text. Having trouble with assignment. Instructions are to replace a section of the file I am given with a script element. In the script element I am suppose to declare a variable named tipNum equal to a random integer between 1 and 10 returned by the randInt() function (which I made and have shown below). Then I am suppose to use a series of document.write() methods to write the following HTML code into the page:
<h1>Random Tip<br />title</h1> <p>tip</p>
(Where "title" is the title of the random text as generated by the tipTitle() function from a external file, and which I did not make; and "tip" is the text of the random tip as genereated by the tipText() function, which is also from the external file, and not made by me) My code for the randInt() function is
function randInt(lower, upper) { var size = ++(upper - lower); var randValue = Math.floor(lower + size*Math.random()); }
The script I made to display the HTML code is
[Code]...
I am getting nothing on my page where the random text should be.
