Applescript set selection to list from txt file

For an AppleScript I am writing, I need to have the program select certain song names in iTunes. Basically, I have a txt file with the song names and I want the AppleScript to select exactly those names. For instance, the txt file looks like
Track1
Track2
Track3
Track4
Track5
with the track names replaced with the actual song names. Every track in seperated by one return, although I can reformat the file to add more returns if necessary. I would like to write something like:
tell application "iTunes"
     set sel to --every track in the txt file--
     ---rest of my code---
end tell
I hope this was clear. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks again DFGray for the comments. 
After the correlations to find the peak positions, i just take the max value.  And you are right the accuracy is limited by the number of  samples per cycle.  Perhaps it would be clearer if you see the code.
1) Basically I get a signal on the up and downslope of the sine wave.  On the down slope however the signal is negative, i.e. its is flipped.  So before I shift and average...I 'cut' the waveform into 4 (when cycles per buffer = 2, then I get 4 signals, 2 on the up slope and 2 on down slope) bits.  Counting from one, I flip the even number, cut it, and but an array of waveforms which is then sent to be convolved and shifted.
2) Array of waveforms are stored to be phased shifted (Convolve and shift vi) and averaged (entire averaging vi which uses the convolve and shift vi as a sub vi). 
* Phase shifting doesn't work when I cut and put it together (So something is wrong in cut waveform vi) 
* Also if it isn't too time consuming could you give me an example of interpolating and shifting thing.
* Also if you have any comments regarding the following VIs please let me know.  
Thanks 
Attached is:
1) Cut waveform vi
2) Convolve and shift
3) Entire averaging

    It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

  • Auto delete everything but specified folder contents from txt file

    Hey Guys,
    I am brand new to using Powershell (like 48 hours into using it for work) and I've run into a bit of an issue.  I've only taken a programming concept classes so some of the stuff makes sense to me but a lot of it is new.  Basically I've made a
    script that automatically deletes any files over X amount of days.  My next step is to have an exceptions text that will have a list of folders that should not have its contents deleted.  This is what I have so far.
    $Date= Get-Date 
    $Days = "7"
    $Folder = "C:\publicftp\users"
    $LastWrite = $Now.AddDays(-$Days)
    #----- getting DO NOT DELETE listing from TXT ----#
    $Exceptions = Get-Content "c:\exclude.txt"
    $Files = Get-Childitem $Folder -Recurse -Exclude "c:\exclude.txt" | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -le "$LastWrite"}
    foreach ($File in $Files)
        if ($File -ne $NULL)
            Remove-Item $File.FullName -Exclude $Exceptions | out-null
    I've seen a lot of threads that show how to auto delete contents or how to exclude specific file types but I haven't seen an answer to my particular problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    Hi Rabbot,
    The script below may be also helpful for you, and uses the -whatif parameter in Remove-Item cmdlet, which doesn’t actually remove anything but simply tells you what would happen if you did call Remove-Item.
    $Exceptions = @()
    Get-Content "c:\exclude.txt" | foreach{
    $Exceptions += $_} #store the exception file to array
    $Folder = "C:\publicftp\users"
    $LastWrite = (get-date).adddays(-7) #over 7 days.
    $Files = Get-Childitem $Folder -Recurse | Where {$_.LastWriteTime -le $LastWrite} #filter files which over 7 days.
    Foreach ($file in $files){
    if ($Exceptions -notcontains $file.fullname){ #if the file is not listed in the exception array.
    Remove-Item $File.FullName -whatif} #use -whatif to test
    I hope this helps.

  • How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview

    Hi everyone
    How to get string (specified by line and column) from txt file with labview
    thx 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    As far as I know, a text file has no columns.  Please be more specific.  Do you mean something like the 5th word on line 4, where words are separated by a space, and lines are separated by a newline character?  You could the Read from Spreadsheet String function and set the delimiter to a space.  This will produce a 2D array of strings.  Then use index array and give the line number and column number.

  • How to read data from txt file respectively

    Hi,
    I am triying to form an equation between two known points. I want to do this with the attached VI, the most critical point is that I will read the x1, y1, x2 and y2 coordinates from the same .txt file.

  • TFS Workitems:Bugs : I want ot select different lists, from the global list, for fields basd upon user group

    Hi,
    I am customizing the bug workitem workflow.
     I want ot select different lists, from the gllobal list, for fields basd upon user group
    I am aware that I can use "when" clauses in the allowed/suggested values of the field.
    My question is : how do I get the group(s) that the current user is in and how do use this to select different lists?

    Hi!
    You can not do this through standard way. You must to create the custom work item control:
    http://witcustomcontrols.codeplex.com/
    And get the user group through IIdentityManagementService.
    IIdentityManagementService IdentityService = _workItem.Store.TeamProjectCollection.GetService<IIdentityManagementService>();
    TeamFoundationIdentity _curid = null;
    _workItem.Store.TeamProjectCollection.GetAuthenticatedIdentity(out _curid);
    string _group = "Admin";
    var _gr = IdentityService.ReadIdentity(IdentitySearchFactor.AccountName, _group, MembershipQuery.Direct, ReadIdentityOptions.None);
    if (_gr.Members.Where(s => s.Identifier == _curid.Descriptor.Identifier).Count() > 0) return true;

    Mike,
    you were right, you may not specify the extension of a file.
    Another thing i detected is that the loop of my data start with the index 1 instead of 0 !!!
    In this scenario, i have to read all the lines of the file and each time i should do a SQL-query,
    so that i can use the result to build my sales document.
    Do you know if it this is possible or have you any idea how to do this ?
    thx,

    OP, you need to sit down and think about the exact order you want to do things in, and rewrite your code in a logical straightforward manner. It looks like you just threw some code in hoping it would work, instead of coding deliberately. I'm not insulting you or anything, I know you're new to Java. I'm just trying to give you some advice. Look at your code, and ask yourself why the following line of code appears before you've even written anything to your file:
    line = outputItems.readLine();
