        		}
        		return wrapper;
        	}
        

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

            in sensor.js you have the function getdom replace it with this

            Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                @strawberry-3-141 great solution from you.
                I want to use your solution not for showing Temperatur/ Humidity rather for showing alerts from sensors.

                The content from my txt is for example:

                Meldung Stellmotor Antrieb blockiert
                Zone Nebenantrieb
                Zeit 6.Juni 2018 10:40
                +++ENDE DER DATEI+++
                

                I change the sensor.js:

                Module.register("Home-Status",{
                	defaults: {
                		updateInterval: 0.5 * 60 * 1000 //reads the file every 30 seconds
                	},
                
                	start: function(){
                		this.sendSocketNotification("START", this.config);
                	},
                
                	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
                		if(notification === "DATA"){
                			this.dataFile = payload;
                			this.updateDom();
                		}
                	},
                
                	getDom: function(){
                		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
                		if(this.dataFile){
                                        var meldungRegExp = /Meldung = (.*?) /ig;
                                        var meldung = meldungRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                
                                        var zoneRegExp = /Zone = (.*?) /ig;
                                        var zone = zoneRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                
                			var zeitRegExp = /Zeit = (.*?) /ig;
                			var zeit = zeitRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                			wrapper.innerHTML = "Meldung: " + meldung + " , Zone: " + zone + " , "Zeit: " + zeit" ;
                		} else {
                			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
                		}
                		return wrapper;
                	}
                });
                

                but it dosn´t work.
                Firtst problem: my txt have no seperators like = or :
                second probleme: my alert text (Meldung) contains of several words
                third Problem: only the newest txt should be displayed. The Names from the txt files are for example 20180112090125.txt or 20185912085949.txt etc. It´s not possible to edit the incoming txt names. Best way is to automaticly delete the previous txt

                I hope you can help me to Display " Meldung, Zone, Zeit" on my MagicMirror

                Best regards

                Sascha

                  @saschasp you can change your regular expressions to the following:
                  /Meldung (.*)/ig;, /Zone (.*)/ig; and /Zeit (.*)/ig;. This should help you displaying the data. For the problem with the newest file you need to do the following steps: Scan the directory, sort file list by highest number, read the first file.

                  Scan the directory https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_readdir_path_options_callback

                  Sort the file names https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort

                  Read the file https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_readfile_path_options_callback

                    Ok, i will try step by step.
                    Beginning with my first probleme:
                    The Output message (displayed on the mirror) is only displaying one word after the “identifyer-word”

                    identifyer "Meldung"
                    Stellmotor Antrieb blockiert
                    MagicMirror Display only Stellmotor
                    Antrieb blockiert is missing

                    The identifyer-wordsare Meldung Zone Zeit

                    The content from my txt:

                    Meldung Stellmotor Antrieb blockiert
                    Zone Nebenantrieb
                    Zeit 6.Juni 2018 10:40
                    +++ENDE DER DATEI+++
                    

                    My edited sensor.js:

                    Module.register("Home-Status",{
                    	defaults: {
                    		updateInterval: 0.5 * 60 * 1000 //reads the file every 30 seconds
                    	},
                    
                    	start: function(){
                    		this.sendSocketNotification("START", this.config);
                    	},
                    
                    	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
                    		if(notification === "DATA"){
                    			this.dataFile = payload;
                    			this.updateDom();
                    		}
                    	},
                    
                    	getDom: function(){
                    		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
                    		if(this.dataFile){
                                            var meldungRegExp = /Meldung (.*?) /ig;
                                            var meldung = meldungRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                    
                    
                                            var zoneRegExp = /Zone (.*?) /ig;
                                            var zone = zoneRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                    
                    			var zeitRegExp = /Zeit (.*?) /ig;
                    			var zeit = zeitRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                    			wrapper.innerHTML = "Meldung: " + meldung + " Zone: " + zone + " Zeit: " + zeit;
                    		} else {
                    			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
                    		}
                    		return wrapper;
                    	}
                    });
                    
                    

                    Result wich is displayed at MagicMirror:

                    Meldung:Stellmotor Zone:Nebenantrieb Zeit:6.Juni

                          @banbutcher you will have to replace the line feeds (\n) with html breaks (

                            hi again,

                            im after getting my script to update my txt file with the names of downloaded movies and tv series… how would i go about reading the title of the series and just having the title and info ie:

                            if title has S**E** in it then
                            filename - Archer S01E01pilot 1080p x265.mkv
                            desired result - Archer S01E01

                            else its a movie and just add movie name

                            i think this is the bit of code im to edit but i havent got it working :(

                            	getDom: function(){
                            		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
                            		if(this.dataFile){
                                                    var meldungRegExp = /Meldung (.*?) /ig;
                                                    var meldung = meldungRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                            
                            
                                                    var zoneRegExp = /Zone (.*?) /ig;
                                                    var zone = zoneRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                            
                            			var zeitRegExp = /Zeit (.*?) /ig;
                            			var zeit = zeitRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                            			wrapper.innerHTML = "Meldung: " + meldung + " Zone: " + zone + " Zeit: " + zeit;
                            		} else {
                            			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
                            		}
                            		return wrapper;
                            	}
                            });

                              using the regex tester,

                              I think this is the regex u want

                              /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/

                                that worked great…

                                however, im a little bit stuck again… your expression works fine and return the correct result but only on the first line of the file and only if i remove the [1] from the end of line 5 of the code

                                	getDom: function(){
                                		var wrapper = document.createElement("div");
                                		if(this.dataFile){
                                                        var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/ig;
                                                        var split = splitRegExp.exec(this.dataFile)[1];
                                
                                			wrapper.innerHTML = split;
                                		} else {
                                			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
                                		}
                                		return wrapper;
                                	}
                                

                                do i need to stick it in some kind of loop? or am i reading the contents of file wrong?

                                again thanks for your help :)

                                  @banbutcher is dataFile an array of filenames? then yes, you’ll need a loop.
                                  so, you are moving part of name a, to a new array
                                  then part of name b to the next slot in the array

                                  array.push(item)
                                  adds item to the end of the array

                                  name_of_array =[] initializes name_of_array to be an empty array

                                  then u will need to format the array of partial names

                                  var x = name_of_array.join(separator)
                                  will turn the array into x, a string with separator between the names
