Retrieving Time Information [SOLVED]

I'm using Audacity on Ubuntu and have a pretty simple (I think) desire, curious if it is as easy as I'd like it to be.

I need to basically choose various points within a track and pass those time locations off to some script to do things with it. (Specifically, to put images in between the chosen times and make it into a video.) I've already made the other script, but my current workflow is basically to listen to various parts of the audio file in Audacity, and when I choose a time location, copy the sample number from the status bar into a text document for the other script to read. Is it possible to grab this kind of info in a more automatic way, such as running a script to write all split time locations to a file?

You could add labels (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/label_tracks.html) at the relevant points, then export the label track (http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/labe ... tml#export)
