Say I want to make a name generator.. I saw the post on how to read a text file and store it as a variable.. very helpful BTW.. how would I make it to where after I told someone a name.. it would go to the next name.. and so on and so on for like a list of a hundred or so names?

You can keep track of what number name you're on:




#TR {%w sez, "Gimme a name"} {


   say %item(@BigListOfNames, @counter)


   #ADD counter 1


   }

or you can delete the name you've just given out:




#TR {%w sez, "Gimme a name"} {


   say %item(@BigListOfNames, 1)


   #DELNITEM BigListOfNames 1


   }

I have this for the loading of the charname file..

#TR {*Alas ... you have entered the*} {#FILE 1 Charnames.txt
#LOOP 1, %filesize(1) {#ADDITEM namelist %read(1, %i)}
#CLOSE 1}

But it isnt loading the entire txt file into the variable.. just one name.. any ideas?
