Fetching Random Lines From Different Text Files

Aug 1, 2011

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.

Prevent Random Duplication With Generated Lines Of Text?

Sep 30, 2009

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?

JQuery :: Detect How Many Lines Of Text Within A Div Or A Tag?

Jun 3, 2010

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?

Enter Text Strings On Multiple Lines.

Nov 26, 2005

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?

Text In A Group Of Pdf Files ?

Mar 13, 2010

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?

Xml Files Are Show As Plain Text On IE

Jun 13, 2009

Alright so this is the case:

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?

Using Frameworks To Access Text Files?

Jul 5, 2011

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...

In VBA, the code would be something like:

Fetching A GET URL

Feb 8, 2005

in PHP you can make a statement to the likes of

if (issett($_GET)) {
do stuff
}
else {
do other stuff
}

I was wondering what the equivalent is to call a GET with javascript EXAMPLE

<a href="page=yourpage&action=edit">edit</a>

<a href="page=yourpage&action=add">Add</a>

consider those 2 URL's

the JS:

if (action=edit) {
do this;
}
else if (action = add){
do something else;
}

Fetching A Page In The Background

Feb 7, 2006

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?

Fetching Data From Other Web Pages

May 14, 2005

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?

Random Scrolling Text

May 30, 2006

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? ...

Text Formatting In Random Javascript

Jul 23, 2005

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.

Resolved Having Generating Random Text?

Aug 9, 2009

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.
