Forums Scripts & Popups Script help

I'm very new at scripting and have reached a stop. I'm trying to create a game that asks random questions. The chatter would type in !q and a random question would appear on the screen. I don't know how to make random text appear. Any help would be appreciated.

/help $read
/help $readini

I put my questions in a text file. Then I put this code in the script file:
ON *:TEXT:*!q*:#: {
if (%Mona == on) {
msg $chan $nick $+ : this question is for you: //echo $read(questions.txt)
}
}

it's still not working...any help would be appreciated

ON *:TEXT:*!q*:#: {
if (%Mona == on) {
msg $chan $nick $+ : this question is for you: $read(questions.txt)
}
}

For this to work you will need a variable named %mona that == on. And you will need a questions.txt file in the $scriptdir with lines of text in it.

This will read a random line from the text file.

ok..last question I added the variable. I am not sure where to save the text file to...how do I find that directory...and thank you for your patience with a new scripter

Enter and it will show you the path where you should put your text file.
