For a long time we've had RadioText formed from a combination of fixed station message text and the "now playing" info from a file.

We now would like to incorprate additional text from another text file that changes hourly. But I cannot get it to work, so wondering if ST has a limit of only one file it can read into Rado Text?

I am inserting this into the RadioText input line:

6s:\r"Path and filename.txt"

I tried inserting this at the end of the input line first, and it caused a display corruption - looked like lots of text over-written (but it did follow an scrolling section, so I'm guessing it was trying to display that text concatenated with my file path/name instruction)
When I insert it at the start of the line, immediately before a similar section for the now playing file, it concatenates this new file and the now playing text.

Any ideas to fix this? Is there a character to use to force ST to separete two RadioText sections?

Thanks.

To answer my own question, for future reference!

Yes there is a way to force ST to treat consecutive sections without contatenating them! it is a "forward slash" - thus:

/6s:\r"Path and filename.txt"
