You can indeed store text in a JSON for example. – Dominik May 21 '21 at 12:16 — Dominik, May 21 '21 at 12:16

You could go by using message.attachments and using save():

await message.attachments[0].save()

Then reading the file which can be done by using open(message.attachments[0].filename, "r") unless you use another file name then you can read it and store it in a JSON file or even a database.

is there a way to read the message without saving it locally? – AX EL May 21 '21 at 13:21
@AXEL you could try to use .read() and maybe use https://stackoverflow.com/questions/606191/convert-bytes-to-a-string – Axisnix May 21 '21 at 13:35
