now playing script

[Charbel1]

Firstly i am new to the forum , hoping the help to resolve what i have as a problem . i dont know if it is a right place to ask , but as i am not good in scripts etc...and always this forum was a great help to me , so till today when i faced a problem , i get to register and ask , hoping from the community the help.
My question is a bit strange or weired , sorry my native lang is arabic so i translate my own mind , but it must be simple.i get the idea from this old thread https://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/259226-shift-delete.html, to post my problem.
I have a radio automation free called zararadio , that generate a static nowplaying txt file (notepad),i have a software called monrds (rds -radio data system) the mon rds software play the role to take the nowplaying txt song title and post or aired it through PS ,program service wich is shown as an 8 characters on the screen of a radio.all work as should be ,but the problem is song name is more then 8 characters , so i need a script to take the nowplaying static and sent it to mon rds as scrolling ,then mon rds read from the script and show all the song name ,delay of scrolling can be from1 to 3 seconds .With AutoHotKey maybe it wil be done as an inspiration from that old thread.(JDobbsy1987)
thank you , any further infos , i am ready .
regards

Hello, I understand that you have one program called zararadio, that generates playlists for you. I also understand that you have another program called monrds, that can read the playlist and send it to the (radio) program service to be displayed.

Your problem is when the playlist item is longer than 8 characters long. In such instances, you want the characters to scroll, in order that they fit on an 8-character display, within three seconds.

This is not immediately possible to specify in a txt file (notepad). To perform such an operation, you would need to understand either the monrds program, or the program service which displays the text output.

You would need to understand if either the monrds program or the program service have text scrolling capabilities. Once you know if the text scrolling capabilities exist, then you would need to know how this feature is addressed and activated.

Hello Charbel1

Presently, I do not understand the commands for monrds to scroll text. Maybe if you would post a link to the YouTube video that you mention, then maybe myself or someone could tell you a bit more about what you should do.

I also tried clicking on the link to your video, and I'm afraid I was blocked from seeing it. I suspect the link has not been made sharable?

 

[Charbel1]

it is sharable i will upload it via my youtube channel thank you .maybebecause you dont have adblocker , it may pop up another window so why it is blocked , youtube will be okay , i post the two links of that video and mine .it is about displacing one character by one CHARBEL >>C HARBEL >>H ARBEL >> A RBEL but from the txt file not the rt

If you want to play with macro stuff, I use the program Macro Recorder. I found it less intimidating than Autohotkey and easier to use.

Since Arabic is read right to left, it is utter hell to post a translation here.

From Google translate:

'iidha kunt turid allaeb bi'ashya' maakraw , fa'ana 'ustakhdim barnamaj Macro Recorder. laqad wajadat 'anah 'aqal trwyeana min Autohotkey wa'ashal fi alaistikhdam.


Macro Recorder, Macro Program, Keyboard Macros & Mouse Macros

Beyond this you may need to mess with VBS and ask over at Stack Exchange.
