For a while I have been relying on making quick scripts to take in data from all number of sources and make them control Vmix. I would love to see the ability to take in a text file and select bits of the text with out the help of an external program. I would also like a way to preform triggers based on data. For example the score of a game goes from 1 to 4 I want to display a popup for a doner who wants there brand promoted when 3 point plays happens with out having to do it manually. I would also like to have the ability to add text into data. So I can put the folder to my assets in data source manager and not through a script. Another use of this is to allow you to add a text to a number. Like foul in basketball. My data score just gives me a number and I have to add in foul at the end.

If the text file is your own, saving it as a CSV rather than a TXT will help immensely.

That's such a niche use case that you'll almost definitely always need to script it.

This already exists.

When you map the Data Source to your title, there's a line called "Format" that defaults to "{0}". That represents the data.

Any other text you want added alongside the data can be entered there and it'll be added to the title field with the data.
