How to write a script which will read text file...

[MonsterMMORPG]

I am far away from being photoshop expert. But i need this kind of thing

A script which will read text file

This text file will be like

Name 1 ; Type1; Type2 ; TextStyle1
Name 2 ; Type3; Type4 ; TextStyle2
Name 3 ; Type5; Type6 ; TextStyle3

From that file it will do this.

For each line

Find layer named as Type1Type2 then write Name1 on it both horizontally and vertically centered. Then apply a predefined text style (TextStyle1) and save that file as Name 1.png

Should be pretty simple for those who are master of Photoshop

Photoshop CS6

I'm not sure about all the steps you want but i believe the ability to bulk automate using a spreadsheet (or CSV) has been around for a while. Your text feilds would already have to best up how you want them , horizontally and vertically centered with the text style defined. Basically it's just a template waiting to have text fed in it by match the layer name with the value in the CSV. It can aslo be done with images as well.

I'll search how to do it in Photoshop as i haven't looked at it in a while but i think in Photoshop it's called a "Variable Data Sets" if i remember using the Image > Define Variable and Apply Data Set.

Here is one video i remember that shows you how to do it:

I know your asking about Photoshop so this might not apply but it canalso be done in indesign: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/instant-in...th-data-merge/
