I'm currently developing a small tool that's supposed to let players of a particular game customize their game way quicker thn actually browsing through the game files, making changes to each and any .ini file. However that is not the matter. I'd like to get a function going to update my application within itself where there i have a function to download a .zip with the most recent version of my application and unzip it onto the app's directory.
However i need some sort of checkig mechanism to determine rather there's a new version of my app or not. As for that matter, i've uploaded both a .html aswell as a .txt with just a 0 in it which would then be changed to a 1 and uploaded to the web server in case there's an update.
So my question is how you'd go through this as in how would you read the text of the .txt file for example and determine rather it's 0 or 1 in so if the result is 1, it'll go over to downloading the newest version.
Any input is welcome,
Best regards,
