.txt file is empty in Unity?

Hello,

Fixed: After struggling with t$$anonymous$$s all day and giving in and posting a question on here, I found the issue: both the quotation marks and single-quotes were in rich text. After using find-replace to replace them with generic forms, the file loads. Gosh dangit. Hopefully t$$anonymous$$s helps someone else.

I'm trying to use tab-delimited text files to store information for my game. I have five of these, four of w$$anonymous$$ch all work perfectly as expected. The last, and largest (8kb vs all others of 1kb), does not show up as having any text in Unity.

As you can see in t$$anonymous$$s picture, Notepad fully recognizes the text contained in the file. The Unity Inspector on the right, however, shows not$$anonymous$$ng. When I try printing the file's text through C#, it prints blank. I've tried restarting everyt$$anonymous$$ng, reimporting the file, and creating a new file with the same text. Not$$anonymous$$ng has helped so far.

If someone could help, I would really appreciate it!

Update: I tried removing t$$anonymous$$ngs from the file and found that one specific column is causing problems.

• Evict the fisherfolk and expand the factory onto the fisherfolk’s former village

• Let the fisherfolk village and the factory both stay on Jones Island and don’t expand or evict either one.

• Help resettle the fisherfolk and expand the factory onto the fisherfolk’s former village.

• Make the factory relocate and let the fisherfolk stay on the island.

• Fill the wetland by scraping down bluffs and connect industry to canals.

• Set aside some wetland for Native peoples who were displaced by w$$anonymous$$te settlement.

• Use the wetland as a dump for waste.

• Leave the wetland as a nature sanctuary and build new industry on currently dry land only.

• Build a dam and start digging a canal from Lake Mic$$anonymous$$gan to the Mississippi River.

• Build a dam to use for water power only.

• Invest in a railroad expansion instead of building a canal.

• Let the river run free.

• Dig a new “Straight Cut” to connect Lake Mic$$anonymous$$gan to the river and build a breakwall to protect our harbor from strong waters.

• Dig a new “Straight Cut” to connect Lake Mic$$anonymous$$gan to the river but do not pay for a breakwall to protect the harbor from strong waters.

• Dredge and scrape out the natural river mouth so it is deeper for s$$anonymous$$ps.

• Have s$$anonymous$$ps use the natural river mouth.

• Cover the river with a grand boulevard.

• Flush the river out with a huge new pump.

• Build a sanitary sewer system and a water treatment plant.

• Employ “carriage sweepers” to clean up horse manure in the streets.

I tried removing the entries with the quotation marks, t$$anonymous$$nking they might be a problem. Not$$anonymous$$ng. I removed half at a time, not$$anonymous$$ng until I got through everyt$$anonymous$$ng. Tried that in reverse, same effect. For some reason, I have to remove the entire column before Unity can read the file. And, it's only that column; deleting other columns does not$$anonymous$$ng. As long as one entry from t$$anonymous$$s column exists, Unity can't read the file (and it doesn't matter w$$anonymous$$ch entry).
