A photoshop action to access external doc and create this???

Question

Photoshop actionIf i have a graphic created, say for example, a square, I would like to create a script thatwould read an external document that contains information like the following:"123 Vernon Street""345 Exile Court"3456 Yogurt Lane""44344 Respite Ave""21267 Gugenhiem Road"...and then takes that information and puts in onto the graphic in a formatted way (positioned onto the graphic centered, for example).The external document may have between 25 - 100 different addresses. The graphic will only be able to hold a certain amount of addresses (x), so after the graphic is filled with that number(x), another graphic would need to be created for the remaining addresses, and so on.How does one accomplish this?

Well, that’s certainly beyond Actions’ scope but can be done with JavaScript – do You have any experience with JavaScript?

Apart from that it may, if the text is not to be edited in a Photoshop-specific way and pdf-output is OK, be easier to make a multipage document in Indesign for something like this.
