A write command should look something like this;
W\1111\9999\data\data\\
A take command should look something like;
X\READ\1111\1\0\\
An update template data command should look something like
X\TEMPLATEDATA\1111\Text1.Text\text1\Text2.Text\text2\\
Not sure if this helps, I know CII but not News Ticker sorry.

I dont know about scene numbers, this is what my newsticker format file is referencing.
[%# Template name %]
[% template = '2188' %]
[%# Template storage location %]
[% storageloc = '4000' %]
The 2188 is the template in Xpression that my director created with the static text boxes for Newsticker to populate with the data and 4000 is the ID that is sent to air once the data is written to the template. Not sure if this helps or not with understanding.

I just did this in November. I wasn't referencing takeIDs but scene numbers.
My knowledge on this is shallow, but might be able to help.

Looking to see if anyone is currently using Newsticker to drive Ross Xpression via the CII gateway software for elections? I am trying to use one format file within Newsticker to write to alternating take ids.
