get text from a file

how to get text from a file ?

@bulldog

your rules plugin for example pulls the text from an xml file

how do i do that ?

to read from a text file first you need to use

using System.IO;

if you look at the top of the .cs file there should be some already listed, just add that to the bottom.
to read from a text file use this code

Textreader tr = new StreamReader("date.txt");
Console.WriteLine(tr.ReadLine());
tr.Close();

this is from a website showing it as an example to show the text in a console window, so it needs changing

Textreader tr = new StreamReader("date.txt");

this needs changing as it takes date.txt from the location the exe is ran from, but flac is kinda dynamic on that front so it needs to be changed to say grab the txt file from the flac directory in my documents so it now becomes

Textreader tr = new StreamReader(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal) + @"\FLAntiCheat\textfile.txt";

------

Console.WriteLine(tr.ReadLine());

this writes the text to the console which we dont need so we use the privatechat.fire method

PrivateChat.Fire(user, string.Format(tr.ReadLine()));

-----

this was kinda just written off the top of my head. youll have to take it and use it in your own way and put the right code in the right place . if youve got any questins post here or cath me on msn, i think ive got you already on there.

i used xml for mine as the layout is better for the user to edit as you have seperate sections. just use google to find some example code and alter it www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=read+from+xml+with+c%23&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 but its XmlDocument you need to read up on

ok sorta went ok but i get this
Error 1 The type or namespace name 'Textreader' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[bulldogg]

oh yeah add this

class TextFileWriter
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{

before

TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter("date.txt");

and

}
}
}

at any point after

tw.Close();
