I stream racing and have a csv data source that is constantly replaced. In this csv file there is a cell that varies from "Racing" to "Red light" etc. I'm hoping there is a way to use a script or another option for vmix to read the word and trigger an image to appear as an overlay dependant of which word is shown.
Thanks

As far as I know, scripts can't read data sources directly. However they can read title inputs.

So in your case, you can have that status (Racing/Red Light) added as a title inputs linked to the relevant row and column in the data source. Then have your script read the content of that input.

Plenty of examples in the "scripting for dummies" post

A simple script for this
Code:

Do While True
dim race as string
race = Input.Find("Text Middle Centre Left Right Sharp.gtzip").Text("Message.Text")
if race = "Racing" then
API.Function("OverlayInput3In", Input:="3")
else if race = "Red light" then
API.Function("OverlayInput3Out")
end if
Loop
