this code works…

		if(this.dataFile){
                        var output_list= [];
			var counter=this.config.counter || 11
                        // setup regex, no i  no g (only once, and case sensitive)
                        var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/;
                        // loop thru the list of filenames
                        for(filename of this.dataFile) {
                            // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                            if(filename.length >0 && counter>0) {
                               // get the filename prefix
                               var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                               // save name to the output list, as a table entry
                               // table has a row, 
                               output_list.push("<tr><td>")
                               // with data
                               output_list.push(split)
                               // end of data and row
                               output_list.push("</td></tr>")
			       counter--;
                            } 
                        }  
                        // insert the table into the wrapper
			wrapper.innerHTML = "<table>" + output_list.join('')+ "</table>";
		 } else {

this code doesnt…

                        var output_list= [];
			var counter=this.config.counter || 11
                        // setup regex, no i  no g (only once, and case sensitive)
                        var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/;
                        // loop thru the list of filenames
                        for(filename of this.dataFile) {
                            // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                            if(filename.length >0 && counter>0) {
                               // get the filename prefix
                               var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                               // save name to the output list, as a table entry

                               // end of data and row

@sdetweil

the counter part worked great, but then when i tried to add it if loop for the name check, im getting “no data” maybe i messed up copying across?

                        var output_list= [];
			var counter=this.config.counter || 11
                        // setup regex, no i  no g (only once, and case sensitive)
                        var splitRegExp = /.*[S][(0-9)]+[E][(0-9)]+/;
                        // loop thru the list of filenames
                        for(filename of this.dataFile) {
                            // if the name is not zero length (split could have returned for just linefeed
                            if(filename.length >0 && counter>0) {
                               // get the filename prefix
                               var split = splitRegExp.exec(filename);
                               // save name to the output list, as a table entry
                               // table has a row, 
                               output_list.push("<tr><td>")
			       // with data
			       if(split )
                                  output_list.push(split)
			       else
			          output_list.push('name not found:'+ filename)
                               // end of data and row
                               output_list.push("</td></tr>")
			       counter--;
                            } 
                        }  
                        // insert the table into the wrapper
			wrapper.innerHTML = "<table>" + output_list.join('')+ "</table>";
		 } else {
			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
		}

@sdetweil

wow… works like a charm! lists all tv shows perfectly!
is there any way to print a line if the regex isn’t met… ie like a movie title instead of a series title with s01e03 attached?
and possibly limit output to 10 lines?

Thanks,

Richie

@sdetweil

Awesome i will try and get it working tonight!

Thanks,

Richie

@sdetweil
not a problem at all, i really appreciate your help so far in this topic and every other question ive had across the board!

Node_helper

const NodeHelper = require("node_helper");
const fs= require("fs");

module.exports = NodeHelper.create({
//here comes the part of the nodehelper after the 3 dots as posted above

	socketNotificationReceived: function(notification, payload) {
		if(notification === "START"){
			this.config = payload;
			this.readData();
    			setInterval(() => {
        			this.readData();
    			}, this.config.updateInterval);
		}
	},

	readData: function(){
		//to read a file to do the following
		fs.readFile("new-tv-list.txt", "utf8", (err, data) => {
			if (err) throw err;
			this.sendSocketNotification("DATA", data);
		});
	}
});

this is my main module .js

i think this is where im reading from

Module.register("deluge",{
	defaults: {
		updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000 //reads the file every 10 mins
	},

	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){
//			wrapper.innerHTML = this.dataFile;
//		} else {
//			wrapper.innerHTML = "No data";
//		}
//		return wrapper;
//	}




	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);

			wrapper.innerHTML = split;
		} else {
			wrapper.innerHTML = "No Data";
		}
		return wrapper;
	}



});

again thanks for your help
