Hello!
I pretend to something but I'm not sure if it will work. The idea is the following:
I developed a software that should read texts from a .txt file but thoose text may be expanded by the user. For the time being, I insert the .txt files in a Resource File and always when I need to uptade the files everything that I do is to update the file in the resource and recompile.
But imagine that I want it to be a final product and I want to use only the executable, so the data will be in it. How could I change thoose texts without having to create a way for the software to consult an external folder? Is there such a way or, in case of needing to do such updates, I will have to compile it with a code pointing to a external folder (external to the .exe)?
I hope you understood my point. Any case, just ask.
Thanks,
Momergil
