Hi,
I wanted to create a short readable text file (*.txt ) for my game which a person could simply edit for settings such as resolution, key-bindings etc ( I’m not using the usual graphics selector on start-up )
I suppose a ( ‘new line’ - /n ) within said text file would be enough to work with as separate data variables for my game to use ?
please advise.
You’re welcome to engineer your own text or “ini” file format.
That’s a LOT of really unpleasant string-fiddling work.
Personally I’d just make the config file a JSON file and be done with it.

Instead grab Newtonsoft JSON .NET off the asset store for free, or else install it from the Unity Package Manager (Window → Package Manager).
Also, always be sure to leverage sites like:
