Hi Bob,
Given you already have a function, you can use ogscript.installTimer to register a timer and run a task (your function) in a timed interval.

Thank you so much! It seems to be working.
I've place the code into the template I was already working on. To find additional values I added additional parameters and added more tasks to the read button. Is that the best way to go about it? I also want the values to refresh automatically so I added a setInterval command at the end of each task.
setInterval(fetchHscore, 10000)
Will that work or is there a better way to do that?
Here is the code I have so far.

Hi Bob,
Here is an ogScript example that displays the HScore value from an XML file as a label. When the XML changes, pressing the 'read' button will update the HScore label.

Can someone help me with the ogScript for displaying the "Hscore" value from this XML file on Dashboard as a label? It would need to update when the value changes.
I have attempted to make a task using visual logic just to get the something to show up but it is not working. I am a beginner when it comes to scripting.
