I am working on a file editor and I was wondering how I could have the editor, based on the file I choose to edit, - create the form fields automatically. I know I can create each one seperately but I'm sure there is a faster way to do it. I'm still learning so I'm not quite sure what to do.
I will probably have several text input fields and also 2 or 3 textarea fields.
Here is the code, kind of messy but will fix that later.
