Do you mean on the screen?

You would use createText() and SetTextPosition()

Yes I am mean on the screen, but that want is only writing the text.
What I want is the text that has been read from a text file and set it's position.

You have 2 options:

Print()
This only allows very basic text, that must be reprinted every loop.

CreateText()
This allows you to easily change size, colour, position etc. You can also load different bitmap fonts to change the style. Every piece of text can have a different size, style and colour. It can be aligned left, right or centrally. If you want to write a paragraph of text, then this is also the best option. You can use chr(10) to add line endings.

In the myFile.txt, it have the text
"aaa"
"bbb"
"ccc"
I want to set the position of these text, how should I do it? Because I try to use
agk::SetTextPosition(2, 700, 50);
But it is not working.
Below is my code.

agk:penToRead(2, "myFile.txt");

for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
m_sReadTextLine[i] = agk::ReadLine(2);

agk:rint(m_sReadTextLine[i].c_str());

}

agk::CloseFile(2);

I don't use AppGameKit Tier 2, but from what I can understand, you are mixing Print and Text.

SetTextPosition() works with CreateText()

Print() is a completely different "system", that you cannot position in the same way.
