Hi everyone!

There **has** to be a way to bundle an exe file so the external text file is included with it and I don’t have to distribute the txt with the exe… isn’t there?? :look:

If not, any suggestions ? I’m working off the random quote generator from the tutorial here, and have a biiiig list that each phrase gets randomly generated. I’d like to be able to distribute this to my friends, but just as the exe…

Thank you for your time 🙂
