GT title on txt file content change and automatic out after 15s

first of all: I'm not a scripter or developer, so no experience at all, but I can read scripts and follow logic...
I'm trying to work out a setup like this:
In our school radio studio, mAirlist (our Audio playout software) writes the 'current song' info (Artist - Title for music or just Title for jingles/news/wheater report/...) in a central txt file when the studio is 'on air'.
I designed a GT Title using the txt file as a data source, refreshing the content every second. The GT Title displays the Artist - Title info perfectly as an overlay (overlay 4 to be exact), but it stays 'on' unless you shut it off (I have installed a small programmable keyboard and use programmed keystrokes to enable/disable the overlay)
What I would really like is the following, in a script:
When the content of the txt file holding the Artist - Title information changes, transition the GT title in on overlay number 4 and start some kind of counter to transition it out after 15 seconds.
I searched the examples posted here in the previous years, but couldn't (or I mislooked/misread and did a wrong search) find an example doing something on a datasource/txt file change, combined with a timer...
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks

Thanks One can read the content of a title (some examples in scripting for dummies post ). In the script keep track of it in a variable and keep reading. If youre track and latest read are different you start a counter or add a sleep before the action you want. Change the track variable to the latest and repeat process
