Morse Code url

[stanl]

Interesting url that translates text to Morse Code.  I know PS has a beep with parameters, but is there a way for WB to play back the code as beeps in a script.  below doesn't use Newtonsoft or Jim's Extender but the dots/dashes can be isolated into a list, array or map. Can they be either translated or played back in WB.

This probably isn't what you mean but if using the individual sound files works you wouldn't need to translate.....
