Importing a Text File into an Array Format

In this tutorial of Unreal Engine 5, I explain my method for importing words and sentences from a text file into an array which can be manipulated for procedural generation. It has many steps and below is the summary.

First, set things up by saving your text file as an Excel CSV file and create a Struct in UE5. Next, drag the CSV file into UE5 so that it converts into a Data Table. The table is formatted by the struct we made earlier. Finally, access the table in a blueprint to extract the values as a string or text array. The text is now ready for deployment as this array can be utilized for all sorts of intents and purposes using the usual array methods!

My videos are inspired by Youtubers such as Dani, Make Games with Katie, Code Bullet, and Sebastian Lague. If you don't know who they are, I highly recommend checking them out!
