receive data from website

I am planning to add a update checker to my game which will look at my website read a line from the page to see if the game is up to date. I need the game to

  • open a URL without opening a chrome
  • read a line from a page
  • set the contents of the line to a variable

sorry for the lack of detail but I have never done anything like this in unity before. I don’t need code just links to relevant pages in the unity manual or tutorials on how do do this kind of thing. I have done some searching on google but because I have never done this I don’t know what to look for.

You may want use the WWW class :

Exactly the same than the example, but your var was a string.
