ReadLine() returns a string. When you do this:


This creates an array of integers. So you're effectively trying to place strings into an array of integers and that's what's causing the error.

To fix this, just declare the array of strings:



Also be careful that increasing the variable index doesn't cause an out of bounds error.

Also, it is a very bad idea to include spaces in file names ("about information.txt"). It works fine in Windows (and I hate that they set that precedent so many years ago). But doesn't work as well in other environments unless the name is properly quoted.

It is much easier to make sure that you use simple file names that will work in all environments, like "aboutinformation.txt" or "about_information.txt".

thanks,

changing the line from "arrText[100]" to "arrText[100] as string" fix the problem.
