[solved]How do I load plaintext text into a text object?

That tutorial has pretty much everything you need. But here's my example anyway, it might explains things a bit further.

LittleStain thank you!

Magistross WOW! First of all, thank you very much for your example! Very funny dialogue there Secondly, I'd hopped that it's easier to pull something like this in C2. Never the less, your capx provides a solid foundation to understand the logic, so thank you again!!!

eli0s XPath is probably the most daunting part. But once you get the grasp of it, you'll be writing XPath expression like it's a second nature ! Here's the W3Schools tutorial on XPath. It covers everything you need to know for node searching and stuff.

Thanks Magistross , I will look into it!

I would also love to know an answer to this since CocoonJS and Ejecta are VERY glitchy with larger loads of text. Selecting a specific text and loading it from a txt where the whole text is stored, would be a godsend. Any AJAX magicians?

eli0s maybe we should make a separate "how to" thread?

damjancd ,

Magistross already gave as the solution and a practical example. I can't test if the AJAX method is faster in CocoonJS and Ejecta, I believe that in huge texts it will be.

Looking around on the "how to" thread, I've found this topic , and in it Yann provides a great example that uses a txt file (and AJAX).

There are other examples too, although I am still skeptical if the glitchiness that you describe is really caused by the text loading method or the text object it self. On an other topic Kyatric mentions that hundred, perhaps thousand lines of text won't cause loading/performance issues. I am sure that I've read somewhere that the text object is causing a hit to performance though.

eli0s oh sorry, I just saw that there was conversation after that initial talk. The forum didn't inform me at all

Thanks!
