Error using File.ReadAllLines

[Leeizazombie]

Here is the command:

Code: Select all

using System;
using System.IO; 
    namespace MCDzienny
{
   public class CmdConstants : Command
   {
      public override string name { get { return "constants"; } }
      public override string shortcut { get { return ""; } }
      public override string type { get { return "other"; } }
      public override bool museumUsable { get { return false; } }
      public override LevelPermission defaultRank { get { return LevelPermission.Banned; } }
        public override void Use(Player p, string message)
        {
            Player.SendMessage(p, "&7Fetching Data...");
            Player.SendMessage(p, "&0-----------------------");
            try
            {

                string text = File.ReadAllLines("text/chat_constant$.txt");
                Player.SendMessage(p, text);

            }
            catch
            {
                Player.SendMessage(p,"Failed");

            }
        }
      public override void Help(Player p)
      {
         Player.SendMessage(p, "/constants - Does stuff.  Example command.");
      }
   }
}

It gives me the following error in errors.txt:

Code: Select all

File.ReadAllLines(path) splits the content of a text file into different lines, or string[] (array).
An array is a collection of strings.
So, there is more than one string in string[].
You can't make something more than what it is supposed to be explicitly.
Take for example chars and strings.
A string is just a collection of characters.
You can't make a character equal to a string.
So what you can do is a foreach loop.

Ex:

Code: Select all

   foreach(string text in File.ReadAllLines(path))
     {
         Player.SendMessage(p,text);
     }


What that is saying is, for each string in the string[], it will tell you one string at a time.
