There is no file read, yet. i'm not sure how to implement it yet in a way that will be easy for you to understand and use. it'll come to me

ok, no rush. I wanted to create a database. Maybe an array with actions and status so the robot can remember certain things, both good and bad reactions to things in his environment.

That's why I prefer actual databases. Searching and parsing a text file is much harder than writing a dB query. You could write the file as "key, data, Value". Then the parsing isn't too bad.
