I'm very new to scripting and I've searched all over and ever document I've come across has been missing at least one bit of vital information.

I would like to read a line of text from a file, but where do I place the file that mIRC can find it? Or, if I can place it anywhere, how do I format the file path?

For context, I'd like to make a document containing a list of greetings and a script that compares incoming comments to that list and outputs a reply.
