XML Load unauthorized access

Question

Hi,

I'm using a modified version of the script found on this site to save and load xml data to a file.

http://unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=Save_and_Load_from_XML

It writes the xml file just fine, but when I got to load it, I get this error.

"UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path '\' is denied."

This is not a networked project, it's all local. I'm not sure why access is denied. If anyone could help that would be great.

For anyone that has this problem, try verifying that you access the correct file, so the path that you the streamreader is a correct one. The best way, for me, is

StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(Application.persistentDataPath + "/" + "filename");

This if for c#. the string filename should be exactly the name of the file you need to access. Application.persistanceDataPath is the path where your application saves a xml file if you create one on your own. To verify it's value just write print(Application.persistentDataPath); and it will write in the console were to go if you want to edit that xml file manually
