I'm trying to find out how to read a .txt file and simply assign its contents to a variable. Is this possible?
[Edit] Right after posting I found this page which seems like it might be in the direction I want to go but I haven't checked it out completely yet: Read Tab Delimited Text File
Just posting the link for future searchers or if anyone will tell me 'Hey! That's not what you're looking for!'
For anyone interested, the simplified answer for me was:
var fileToParse = File ('path');
fileToParse.open('r');
var dataToGet = fileToParse.readln();
fileToParse.close();
I only needed the one line, so thats why my example above is so simple.

What should you do if you need more than one line?
