First you would have to reference it in your JavaScript Globals like this.
//Below define Gdata as my external data source
englishfile = new ExternalDataFileEx("Macintosh
HD:Users:cg161807:Desktop:Working Files:yourfilename.txt", ",");
englishfile renames the file so you don't have to call back the entire
file location.
The comma is the delimiter in this case.
I would also add the file as a resource so that when you compose it
composes with that file.
Now it is a matter of creating a rule that pulls different your different
versions.
I don't know what is different about the two versions other than language,
but here is an example that I have.
Create a rule on record start.
//Top Section sets Status
CurRec = CurrentRecordNumber();
if(englishfile.GetFieldValue(CurRec, "columnnamehere") >= Int("11"))
{
status = "english";
}
if(frenchfile.GetFieldValue(CurRec, "columnnamehere") < Int("11")
{
status = "French";
//Section Below define page usage
if((status == "english"))
{
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("FrenchPage", false);
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("EnglishPage", true);
}
else
{
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("FrenchPage", true);
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("EnglishPage", false);
}
This probably made no sense at all, but gives you a starting point? I
hope!
