Timecode and External Files

$

Greetings,

 

I'm attempting to create a scoring system for some sports matches video and seeking a way to update onscreen text using timecode referenced via external file. For example;

 

When movie clip reaches 00:12:27:00 increase the number in the onscreen text field by one.

 

I'm new to expression and javascript but thus far I've learned that using the following expression allows me to access information from an external text file.

 

myFile = "C:/../file_01.txt";

$.evalFile(myFile);

eval("scoreL")

 

I lack the language to describe what I'm looking for so having a hard time finding anything in web searches. If anyone can point me in the direction of a tutorial or other resource, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

 

Robert
