I'm familiar with programming to a slight extent, but the scripting language is not one I know. Can someone point me to a language that is "exactly like" this, so I can read how to use the functions, with examples?
Or, could someone give me some help with this: I'm putting a place name ("Home," etc.) in a file with its coordinates, all separated by commas. I want to be able to have a script ask me for a location from a list showing only the place names (every third entry starting with #1), then pass the next 2 entries on to the maps program. I already know how to set a location in Maps, I just don't know how to effectively read the text file and parse the entries.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hi,

The documentation of the scripting language is available in the Help-section of action Script.
To access the help page you can create a new action Script and press the [?]-icon on the upper right side when editing the action.
There's also a list of supported functions when you scroll down in the help page.
In your case you could probably use function lines = split(text, "\n") to get a list of text lines and then use a for loop to process each line.

Regards,
Martin
