function TextLoad(file,array,text) array[0]="" local x=0
   readfrom(file)
   repeat    if (text) then
         text=text..array

• .."\r\n"

      end
      x=x+1
      array

• =read()

   until (array

• ==nil)

   readfrom()
   return text
end

thanx for help...

firstly try to use [ code] and [ /code] tags but with no space after the initial bracket..

What the program is looking for is a function called readfile using parameter file

function ReadFile(bot,user,file,output)
local handle = io.open(file, "r")
local contents = string.gsub(handle:read("*a"), string.char(10), "\r\n")
handle:close()
if output=="main" then
user:SendData(bot,"\r\n"..contents)
elseif output == "pm" then
user:SendPM(bot,"\r\n"..contents)
end
return contents
end

call the function with  
     ReadFile(bot, user, file, "pm") -- if outputting to PM
or
     ReadFile(bot, user, file, "main")  -- if to main chat
