read from a textfile

[ericsmeets]

Hi, I'm wondering how you can read the text written in a edittext field and then put it in a variable?

I hope someone knows cause what I'm trying to make is a script which makes a textlayer and in that textlayer comes what the user put in the edittextfield.

Thanks eric

Hi Eric:

Welcome to RetouchPRO.

Ro, Scripts forum moderator, is pretty sharp when it comes to scripting. He's helped me many times.

If you haven't found it yet, another very good source for JS Q/A (when it pertains to Photoshop) is the Scripting Forum at www.Adobe.com.

Thanks for the nice words, Danny, but this is CS stuff and I'm on 7.0 and getting outdated.
I'll be doing some Googling to see if I can get the hang of the CS dialog setup.

Adobe changed the JS libraries in CS -- an upgrade I guess, but that made some, but not all, PS7 JS code upward incompatible. I've never seen a document summarizing differences, either. That would be a handy thing to have.

Anyway, A's for effort, Ro.
