FromFileText

Introduction

FromFileText returns text content from the argument file path. The file path can be absolute or relative to the FileManager's RelativeDirectory.

FromFileText can be used on all FlatRedBall platforms safely. Internally it uses TitleContainer if required for a particular platform.

Example - Loading JSON Contents

The following code shows how to load a file called EnemyData.json.

var jsonContents = FlatRedBall.IO.FileManager.FromFileText(
    "Content/GlobalContent/EnemyData.json");

This code assumes that the file EnemyData.json is located in the Content/GlobalContent folder, and that it is marked to copy if newer. The FlatRedBall Editor can manage this if you add the file to Global Content.
