  if(this.dataFile){
  	wrapper.innerHTML = this.dataFile;
  } else {
  	wrapper.innerHTML = "No data";
  }

if the content you are injecting in NOT html, then you should use innerText…
it might recognize the line ends as such… they are not line ends in html

if the innerText doesn’t work, then u will have to convert the line ends t html line breaks
replace '\n\ with ‘
’

note that html is NOT UTF 8

here is the script that im using to retreve file names…

#!/bin/bash

TARGET=/media/TheVault/UnWatched/
PROCESSED=/media/TheVault/Torrentopia/Torrent-Files/

inotifywait -m -e create -e moved_to -r --format "%f" $TARGET \
        | while read FILENAME
                do
                        echo Detected $FILENAME, Adding to list...
                        echo $FILENAME | cat - $PROCESSED/new-tv-list.txt > temp && mv temp $PROCESSED/new-tv-list.txt
#                        echo $FILENAME `date` >> $PROCESSED/new-tv-list.txt
			cp $PROCESSED/new-tv-list.txt /home/pi/MagicMirror/new-tv-list.txt

                done

if i take out the utf8 part i get an [object array buffer] instead of my file names…

no such thing… ask away…

@banbutcher you can also convert the buffer to a string

buffer_object.toString()
