(discord.py) 如何将文本文件的内容作为消息发送

Question

I want my bot to send ascii art. The art is contained in a text file because it's more organized, but when i try to make the bot send it it just sends the file download. I am currently using await ctx.send(file=discord.File('file path')) . How do i convert the contents of the file to a string that can be sent as a message?

You need to open the txt file read its content and send it

with open("filename.txt") as f:
    content = "\n".join(f.readlines())

await ctx.send(content)
