Unable to save program

im trying to save my password program and it still doesnt work :/

Oh wow. We need information. We need your code. We need documentation on what you did to cause this. We need information on what you did.

and we need you to look into older threads like this, because this question seems to pop up every other day..

Okay so i wrote a password program that would then open a gate it was this:

password="123"
  side = "back"
  while true do
  term.clear()
  term.setCursorPos(1,1)
  guess = read("*")
  if password == guess then
    rs.setBundledOutput(side,colours.white)
    sleep(.5)
    rs.setBundledOutput(side,0)
    sleep(.5)
    rs.setBundledOutput(side,colours,white)
    sleep(.5)
    rs.setBundledOutput(side,0)
    sleep(.5)
    rs.setBundledOutput(side,colours.white)
    sleep(3)
    rs.setBundledOutput(side,0) --Then i repeat all the outputs again 3 times to a purple cable to close gate
    end
end

then i built a disk drive using 7 stone 2 redstone, i build a floppy using 1 paper and 1 redstone then i placed directly beside the computer and the floppy disk in.
i then go onto the computer in the main dir with only rom and my password and i type copy password(my program is named password) disk/password and when i do this i get a message that says access denied. iv tried writing new programs iv tried building new computers new disk drives new disks.

also is there a way i can set the rs.setBundledOutput(side,colours) to a 1 second pulse so i don't have to do rs.setBundledOutput(side,0) every time?

idk why you cant save, but for the pulse you can create a function like this

function rs.setBundledOutputPulse(side,colours,pulse)
  rs.setBundledOutput(side,colours)
  sleep(pulse)
  rs.setBundledOutput(side,0)
end

then run it by typing for instance rs.setBundledOutputPulse("top",colours.white,3)
thatll make a 3 second pulse

okay cool thank you very much:)

Out of curiosity, are you developing this program on a multi-player server?

Some servers don't allow you to save programs to a floppy disk, with some reasons being that it creates a new itemID. Which could be causing your save issue.

Alternatively are you using any multi launcher or some strange setup for Minecraft?
Could be something like local file permissions.

you are either touching rom, or target folder / target file is opened with fs
