How to write inside files

[rinoa79]

Hi,
I'm learning to write files via celestia with the "io.open()"
using the function that is on page
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=8326 but nothing happens.
He says that Celestia wrote the file but there isn't anything in the file.
I can not understand what is wrong...
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance!

It works fine for me under Windows XP SP3 using Celestia v1.5.1.

Here's the minimal example code, leaving out the on-screen display and writing to Celestia's extras directory

Code: Select all

celestia:requestsystemaccess()
myfile = io.open("extras/test.txt","w")

text = "Hello, Universe!"
myfile:write(text)
myfile:close()


First it asks if you want to allow I/O operations.
Then the file text.txt is created in Celestia's extras folder on my computer. It contains the string
Hello, Universe!

Your code works. I don't know why the other not!
I'm starting to yours!
thank you very much!
