Then another point in time, my friend wanted me to gather song and artist data from his DJing web server. I wanted to put these 2 scripts together, and have a board that displays the information in XY Text.
I can put these 2 scripts together pretty easily, and display the information on the board. However, it will display the information like right after another and it is all "jumbled". If you understand what I am saying, how would I make it so I can have a format for my information. Such as if I have a 4 row board, how could I edit the script to put the song title and artist information on the first 2 rows, and the third row is empty, then the status on the 4th row. This way, it will be a lot cleaner looking.
I used the XYZZY Text method for this, by naming each prim that displays information.

This is the usage script that I am using, thanks to Void.
listen(integer channel,string name, key id, string message)
{
message = message;
integer maxPerLine = 35 - 1; //-- replace 5 with your character max
do{
llMessageLinked( LINK_THIS, DISPLAY_STRING, llGetSubString( message, 0, maxPerLine - 1 ), (string)(gToggle++ % max) ); // max = max number of lines.
message = llDeleteSubString( message, 0, maxPerLine );
}while (message);
}
//////
I tried to use regular XYText 1.5, because with that method I have to stick a script inside of the prim that displays text. Then I set the usuage and Display prim, to a unique "DISPLAY_STRING" number. This way, I can set where I want the information to go, however, I have no idea how to link more than one prim together and get the text to flow between them. When I try to link Multiple prims together, the text just repeats on each prim.

I hope this was not to long, and I hope everyone understands what I am asking / saying here. Thanks...
