How would one use the data downloaded with the example code for entity file's

On the page explaining entity files it has this code

I want to download a text file stored as an entity file but i have no idea how i can use the data that is downloaded. Could somebody explain to me how you could use the downloaded data after this segment of the code

    void GetActualFile(PlayFab.DataModels.GetFileMetadata fileData)
    {
        GlobalFileLock += 1; // Start Each SimpleGetCall
        PlayFabHttp.SimpleGetCall(fileData.DownloadUrl,
            result => { _entityFileJson[fileData.FileName] = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(result); GlobalFileLock -= 1; }, // Finish Each SimpleGetCall
            error => { Debug.Log(error); }
        );
    }

i have solved my issue using this code

  
    void OnGetFileMeta(PlayFab.DataModels.GetFilesResponse result)
    {
        Debug.Log("Loading " + result.Metadata.Count + " files");


        _entityFileJson.Clear();
        foreach (var eachFilePair in result.Metadata)
        {
            _entityFileJson.Add(eachFilePair.Key, null);
            StartCoroutine(GetText(eachFilePair.Value));
        }
        GlobalFileLock -= 1; // Finish GetFiles
    }
    IEnumerator GetText(PlayFab.DataModels.GetFileMetadata fileData)
    {
        UnityWebRequest www = UnityWebRequest.Get(fileData.DownloadUrl);
        yield return www.SendWebRequest();


        if (www.result != UnityWebRequest.Result.Success)
        {
            Debug.Log(www.error);
        }
        else
        {
            // Show results as text
            Debug.Log(www.downloadHandler.text);


        }
    }

This will depend on the content of your file. In the above sample, the file is a JSON file. Thus, we can get the JSON string with Encoding.UTF8.GetString method. If you are using a text file, you should also be able to get all the text with the same method.

Do you maybe also now how i can actually read the resulting data for example if i wanted to put the text on the text file into a gui text

As Jay mentioned, you can get the string from the data with Encoding.UTF8.GetString method, the question now becomes how to put a string into Unity GUI. Please find the Unity document for help.
