Description

The text contents of the file as a string. (Read Only)

Encodings are detected and interpreted automatically. Supported encodings are:

• UTF-32 Big or Little Endian with a byte order mark,
• UTF-16 Big or Little Endian with a byte order mark,
• UTF-8 with a byte order mark,
• UTF-8 without a byte order mark. This encoding is used as a fallback, if the above encodings can't decode the file without missing characters.

To use a specific encoding to decode a file, use TextAsset.bytes and C# encoding classes.

using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
    TextAsset asset;

    void Start()
    {
        Debug.Log(asset.text);
    }
}
