Load from text file?

I am needing to load a small config file (has one character in it) and I keep getting null and not sure why. This is my coroutine:

IEnumerator loadConfig()
    {
        WWW www = new WWW("file:///" + Application.streamingAssetsPath + "config.txt");
        yield return www;
        string whichFootprint = www.text;
        Debug.Log("fu:" + whichFootprint);
    }

Sorry, my bad. I was missing the forward slash in front of config.txt…
Working fine now.

I do have a question on this though - is it OK to edit that config file after building the executable - ie after it has been installed on the target machine.
