Simple Text that reads a .txt file

@sdetweil Thanks for the response. Im having trouble making the module(I have no experience and the "Head first developing MM module for extreme beginner"didnt work). Also The python script can run in the background and can output into a .txt file. Can I just edit helloworld to just print the thing in the text file? Sorry if this is stupid.
-
@Jackkt Also the text file updates every 5 seconds by the results of the python script
-
@Jackkt if the python script can be changed to just write to the screen, you can use spawn instead. And it can send u info every time it writes
-
@sdetweil Hey, I get a syntax error from “const { exec } = require(‘child_process’); unexpected token {” its the one before exec. Get the same from spawn.
Thanks -
@Jackkt Also without the {} the error is “unexpected identifier” for
“spawn” -
@Jackkt that leading quote shouldn’t be there
-
@sdetweil I was just quoting sorry it looks like:
const { exec } = require(‘child_process’);and
const exec = require(‘child_process’);
-
@Jackkt ok. I just cut/pasted it from a working module.
When posting code or config in the forum, please use the markup syntax. 3 backticks (key left of number 1) before your content on a separate line
And 3 more after on a separate line -
@sdetweil also, it doesn’t just go anywhere… I didn’t give u exact code, but close
-
@sdetweil What module was that working module? Sorry im just not good at this stuff so I rather cut down a working module then make my own.
