write a foreach statement to print quotes from a text file!
Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2010 9:20 pm
I need to write a foreach statement that will print quotes from a text file, I tried to below but keep getting only one quote at a time and it needs to print 5.
Just wondering if anyone can help me figure this out, I did attempt it myself, but no luck. The text file is called quotes.txt
