Text File to Unity 3D GUI Canvas Textbox

Newbie to Code here... So I was given this code by a user who claimed this would do what I want it to do... which is display the txt file noted in the code and post the single line information in it to a GUI Textbox...

However, nothing happens - any ideas what's wrong?

using System.Collections;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using UnityEngine;

using UnityEngine.UI;

using System.IO;



public class driverVersionText : MonoBehaviour

{



   public Text driverVerText = null;

   // Start is called before the first frame update

   void Start()

   {

       driverVerText.text = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\DriverVersion.txt");

   }

}

 

The code itself is correct. The problem must be in the scene setup. Have you created a canvas and a text label for the script? Have you checked file content fits label before running the script? Check console for any errors. Copy and paste file content to text label inspector to see if it is displayed correctly at all.

 

That's the console... noooo idea lol

 

You splitted text into array of lines, but the component expect all text as a whole. Use ReadAllText instead of ReadAllLines

 

Problem solved! Thanks for your help
