Hey everyone, Im making a component for a companies wesite, it is simple enough they want a list of phrases to be displayed one at a time in random order… not a problem. Its just that they want to be able to update the phrases themselves = external txt file to populate the array. I dont work with arrays often enough so I was wondering if someone could tell me the way to populate an array using values in an external txt file. Peace ---
