It seems, your path to your file is wrong.
Please put the file for testing on your desktop ( like I wrote before! ) and replace this part of code
var txt = File ('~/Desktop/test.txt');
txt.open("r");
var contentStr = txt.read();
txt.close();
var str = contentStr.split ("\n");
with these lines before you run the script again
...var txt = File ('~/Desktop/test.txt');
if (txt.exists == true) {
txt.open("r");
var contentStr = txt.read();
txt.close();
var str = contentStr.split ("\n");
} else { alert ("no text file f

Hi hardy11111,
I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.
But perhaps this helps you a little:

At first create a text file (plain text) on your desktop manually;
name -->
test.txt
contents -->
1. If received ins. "Convert to CMYK. Background to be 5M 5Y. Profile is ISONewspaper26v4. keep as much hair detail as possible".

The result should be (if the file on your desktop was found):

A rtf file is never a good idea. You really need plain text - and not a text with any kind of formatting!!!
Otherwise you get this wrong result:
Good luck
Hi SuperMerlin,
it seems hardy wants these lines not in the jsx. He wants an extra txt file for that.
you already have two lines in your txt?
A new line (after these two lines) will be str[2]
A new line (after these three lines) will be str[3]
and so on …
Bonjour
It would be better to show text rather than an image to make it easier for those who want to help ?
