Quick Gui Question

Quick scripting quesiton, How can I load text from a .txt file that is stored on the server and show it in a gui text control?

this is what I have so far;

PHP Code:


		
			
      new GuiMLTextCtrl("CMD_MultiLine1") {

        profile = GuiBlueMLTextProfile;

        height = 17;

        horizsizing = "width";

        width = 463;

        text = gettext("Staff_Commands.txt"); //Something like that?

      }

GUI Controls are Clientside, if the text file is stored on the server you need to communicate between the client and server in order to retrieve its data.

Here's a hint:

1. triggerserver requesting text
2. load text in onActionServerSide using loadstring
3. send text to client using triggerclient
4. set text based on data from onActionClientSide

Please try and search the forums about each topic.

My guide has links to content that will help as well, see my sig for that.

Ok, thank you.

As for the function to get the data from the text file, what would that be?

I looked for loadstring on your page and It says:
There is no page titled "loadstring".

Where do I upload the txt file to?

There's some examples under the File I/O section. Search the forums for loadstring as well, you should be able to find plenty of examples that way.

Okay I got this:

PHP Code:


		
			
echo(loadlines("levels/Staff_Commands.txt"));

though, it returns 0

loadlines(); needs to be attached to a variable name:

PHP Code:


		
			
temp.l.loadlines("levels/Staff_Commands.txt");

echo(temp.l);
