Help with Table DAT to Text TOP

Hey guys I am very new with touch designer and is looking for help for a school installation project.

Essentially, I am trying to visualize a list of emotions as floating words on a black screen. I am doing so by using referencing multiple words in a table DAT into a single text TOP.

However, my table DAT acquires data (the emotions) cumulatively. This means that I would have empty lines on the table which the text TOP reads and visualizes as which I don’t want people seeing.

Is there a way to bypass this?

You could get right of the empty lines using the selectDAT. might be helpful to look at its operator snippets to get an idea of how to do that.
