Hello,

I am a very novice with computercraft and I'd like to display a .txt from an external link on a monitor but I don't know what to use.

What's more, I'd like to know why doesn't this code work?

local monitor = peripheral.wrap("right")
local txt = "Hello"

monitor.SetCursorPos(1,1)
monitor.write(txt)

Thank you

it's setCursorPos not SetCursorPos

Edit: Also, try HTTP api

If you want to read a file on a website, you can do this:

local url = "http://www.nothy.se/files/test.txt"
local data = http.get(url)
print(data.readAll()) --#If you want to run the file, simply write the data to a file and run it!
