In my project, I use Ajax request a lot, but according to player choice, the requested project file is always different.

In the following expression, how can I use a variable instead of testFr.srt filename ? For example, filename could be testFr1.srt or testFr2.srt...

-> AJAX: Request testFr.srt (tag "subFr")

Can I use Request URL instead ? And if yes, what would be the adress to a project file named testFr.srt

Yes, use "Request URL" and put the filename testft.srt into the text variable.

Or you can use something like this:
Variable lang = Fr AJAX Request URL "test" & lang & ".srt"

If the file is in a sub-folder, you need to include it too, for example:

AJAX Request URL "Subtitles/testFr.srt"

Amazing !

thanks for confirming this intuition :)

(the subfolder trick doesn't work, though)

Check "Export file structure" in project properties. If it's set to "flat", you don't need to specify subfolder name.
