So basically i was trying to load a txt file for some purposes but the best i was able to load was <Object#null> . is there any way to load them though?

Sure, you can load a TXT file. You’ll want to check out the docs for the FileAccess object here:

Here’s an example (taken directly from the linked docs page) that should be close to what you need…

func load():
    var file = FileAccess.open("user://save_game.dat", FileAccess.READ)
    var content = file.get_as_text()
    return content
