Hey Y'all I was wondering if anyone had an easy way to keep a crawl updated with tweets. Our current method involves two 20 page scene groups. We use Access Databases to compile the twitter lists. I have seen a way with n+1 in the datalinq increment, but this only seems to work with text files. ...

Here it is breaking after a space. The second Image is our MDB with the actual text. I checked and there is no carriage return. :( #XPression

Here is a better example of my error, It breaks the bounding box, and i think it has something to do with the deleted space. cause in the mdb file it has a space. I might have been wrong about it being only after a period. #XPression

So this works great, mostly. It's acting a little strange sometimes. It seems to be deleting the space before the hashtag and username, but only sometimes. Besides the spaces it works great in sequencer, but when i check the different datalinq keys in layout, if there is a hashtag or @ ...

If they are in the same row in you excel doc, and your just going down a row each time you can use datalinq keys. Click on your scene object at the very top. Go to datalinq keys tab.
