[lua] [Question]

--Firstly we need to get the string from the file
local file = fs.open(textHere, "r") --We ope the file textHere in mode r (Read mode)
textFromFile = file.readLine() --We read the first line from the file, and assign it to textFromFile
file.close() --Allways close the handle after you are done with it

--Now to the comparing part
if message == textFromFile then --Comparing
  print("Yes, the message was equal to what the file had")
else
  print("No message was not equal to what was written in the file")
end

id, msg = rednet.receive()
if fs.exists(msg) then -- checks to see if the msg received matches a file's name
 -- yes
else
 -- no
end

You compare the message to the value of whats in the file. Let's say you have a file called textHere, and that contains compareWithMe You have already gotten the message over rednet, and it's string is called message
