 @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 onlyStellmotor
 Antrieb blockiert is missingThe identifyer-wordsare Meldung Zone ZeitThe 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

 @saschasp your regular expressens are different from the one i posted, use them and I’m sure it will work

 @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 S01E01else 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; } });thanks Richie

 @banbutcher said in .txt file include: Archer S01E01pilot 1080p x265.mkv using the regex tester, 
 https://regex101.com/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 arrayarray.push(item) 
 adds item to the end of the arrayname_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
