Script to convert text file to text layer.
Aug 21, 2011 2:53 PM
Alright, Totally new at this extendscript stuff, but it will be my 6th coding/scripting language if I can become profficiant in it. ( after C++, Objective-C, AppleScript, AutoHotKey and Bash... I don't count HTML/CSS)
So this is script number zero, I need somewhere to start, and I have a project I've been working on that I can't see another way to do it, so since I'm new at this, id like you to help me write this, I honestly have no idea, not even a clue where to start (Time for 'hello world!' eh?).
Anyway, what I would like help making is a script, that will take the 50 text files I have in a folder [ D:\Code\Examples\HelloWorld\*.txt] and make them all text layers with font: Anonymous Pro, Size 8, Color 0xFFFFFF. Alighted to the top/left at 0,0. I would like the layer name to be the Text-files name before the last period (I say last because one is named Visual Basic .NET.txt)... although first wouldn't be too bad. (So lets just say, until a period)
The reason I can't do this task by hand is simple, they are all 'Hello World' Examples, they are in 49 different coding languages. Each language has a seperate text file, like Bash.txt, Ada.txt, (Extendscript.txt next? 
.. make it an even 50 XD)
So, little help making this? Maybe an example?
