Adium users can generate random quotes with a free and generic script.
The file must have a specific format: each quote should be separated by a dash and two new lines. QuoteDB lets you pass the file path in Applescript format. In Adium, for instance, you would type %_quotedb{iMac:users:nate:desktop:quotes:db1.txt} and QuoteDB would use the specified file to retrieve a random quote.
With QuoteDB, you don't have to worry about getting an output when you don't pass a file path. It only works when a valid file path is provided, so there's no risk of getting an empty response.
Overall, QuoteDB can be a handy tool for anyone looking to retrieve quotes from a file. It's easy to use, follows a specific format, and returns meaningful outputs.
