I have .txt files stored externally. I want the users of my website to be able to read and edit them. I can display them in an HTML element but I am not sure how to output the text in the files into a richTextBox so the users can edit them. Does anyone know how this can be done?

The files are retrieved using source URLs to their external location.

Then assign the text to a rich text element:

@anralore as a matter of fact, you don’t need an iframe at all.
You can just:

import {fetch} from 'wix-fetch';
fetch('https://www.w3.org/TR/PNG/iso_8859-1.txt')
  .then(response => response.text())
  .then(data => {
  //push the data to the text box
  });
