Save custom Lower Third Data as text file

Hello,

I'm currently using a CSV/TXT file to pull name and company data for Lower Thirds, at the same time the same data also sets file name in the recorder.

What I'm hoping to do is take that same name and company data and use it to write a manifest of the names that have been recorded.

I've tried using the log node but the data is a bit messy, as I don't need all the starts and stops logged.
Text exporter works as a one off but will not collect multiple lines.
I've tried to collect the lines in a text block then out to a text exporter but that doesn't seem to do anything.

Any direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks

As a follow-up, I did find this forum post from 2022 that might fit my needs. If anyone knows a non-script method to write multi-line text to a file, I'd gladly accept the idea.

Hi,

I think you want to save text generated during different phases of your production, which means retaining text created in a previous frame. If that's not the case and you only need to combine multiple texts within the same frame, you can use the Text Concat or Text Concat Multi module.

If you want to retain text across different frames in your flow editor logic, I suggest using the Hold Text module. Here is a possible logic flow you could implement:
Save custom Lower Third Data as text file Where the circular logic between the Hold Text and the Text Concat modules can continually extend your text.
Note, that the above logic will also overwrite the exported text each time the text changes because the same trigger is connected to both the Text Exporter and Hold Text modules.

You were not able to use the Text Block module, because it is designed for pasting large amounts of text to its Text Editor and editing it.

Warmest regards,

Thanks for this Eifert! I will give it a shot this weekend.
