Was the intention to lead me to "char"? All I had to do was change my array into chars and it was all solved

What is it you are trying to achieve? I am attempting to file each character (does not matter if spaces are included or not, but I would like to know) of a text file into a separate index of a flexible string array to avoid the max string character limit of 255. What is the problem you are having? I cannot isolate each letter of the text file without first creating a variable to take on the value of the entire text file, which could potentially exceed 255 in length. Describe what you have tried to solve this problem I tried to use "length" on the text file information (without creating a variable), but could not find the correct syntax, if one exists for that operation. Post any relevant code
Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1.1 |

that's one way, yes. You could also get content of fixed length, so you could read from a file in blocks of size at most 255. Though either approach works, and there are unique tradeoffs to each. |
