Dataserver reading from more than one notecard?

Leaving aside perhaps the question of one you might one to do this (it's for regionalization, for language pref to present parameters in languages other than just Amurican)....

can you tell a script to load parameters from one notecard, then another?

like
dataRequestID = llGetNotecardLine("config-main", lineCounter);
dataRequestID = llGetNotecardLine('config-German", lineCounter);

i've got the notecard reading with dataserver (ha! dataserver, LOL) working, but haven't seen yet any examples of it being directed to multiple notecards.

A search here of this forum didn't bring me up any discussion of this, maybe I was using the wrong keywords.

Yes, this is all doable. But it could get confusing, since I don't believe you can be gauranteed that your dataserver event for the first will return the first read first (in the same order as your GETs). So doing it like this, you'd want to use different variables for dataRequestID so your dataserver event could make sure it got the one it was expecting.

But I think its better to use more than one state.

For internationalization, you might create, for example, a initialization state, where your notecard reads and dataserver events are all focused at reading your config-main, to get the name of which language file to use (or prompting the user for it).

Then once you have that, switch to the a new state, your normal running state, or second phase init state, which reads your messages from whatever file was set by your initialization state.

It is possible to do this within a single state, but imho it gets too messy too quick.

I second using states to handle one card at a time, its dog slow but its only on startup and I can live with that for the simplicity it lends the code.

Hot ideas everyone, kewl! Might combine the two concepts, that of the example pointed to by Lee, and of the changing states.
