it says expected string also say the file is named hi and the line was at the first line and it said hello = "hi" and you want to use print(hello on the other program called l then how would that be done?
local f = fs.open("hi", "r")
local content = {}
local line = f.readLine()
while line do
table.insert(content, line)
line = f.readLine()
end
print(content[1])

Bubba, I hate to break it to ya but, CC does have a built in lines iterator. I use it all the time <_</>local handle = fs.open(fileName, "r") local table = {} local lines = handle.readLine() for lines in handle.lines do table.insert(table,lines) end
local f = fs.open('exampleFile', 'r')
for i,v in pairs(f) do
print(i..": "..v)
end
f.close()

Which way did you use? Im curious if the handle.readLine iterator worked for you.I just checked the files and it works great thanks one last thing say i want to make a file with a user and pass is there a way to add it into the hi file and use hi as a config file

print("Please input username: ")
local input = read()
local handle = io.open(fileName,"r") --I like to use the io library for one-line files
handle:write("username = "..input)

I use it in CC Emu :D/> That is very strange… Immibis told be about it to begin with (Even I was doubtful at first) but it ended up working for me. ^_^/>
EDIT: Is there anything in the file you are reading?

It is definately odd that it won't work. Did you define the variable 'lines'? Are you opening the file in 'w' mode instead of 'r' mode? A number of things could be wrong.I use it in CC Emu :D/> That is very strange… Immibis told be about it to begin with (Even I was doubtful at first) but it ended up working for me. ^_^/>
EDIT: Is there anything in the file you are reading?
Indeed there is. Quite a bit in the file in fact. I don't know what's up xD I know about handle.lines from a regular Lua environment but never really use it seeing as how I thought it wasn't in CC.

Darn… Props for catching that. Most people wouldn't have noticed (Including me :)/> Nah, not really) Well, I don't know what else to say except maybe post the code, but then again, you said you just copied it so…

yup no problemThat is strange… Last time I used the lines iterator it worked… Let me test a bit :)/>
It apparently worked for AnDwHaT5…

I SEE THE PROBLEM!
You do this:It should be:for lines in f.lines doI don't know how I didn't see that at first. ^_^/>for lines in f.readLine do

That's my question! He must've taken it upon himself to fix it? But? PARADOX!I SEE THE PROBLEM!

Okay… Now things are making more sense XD But looking back at both your code and and the code that AnDwHaT5 pasted the f.readLine does not exist there… How the hell did it work for him?

Hehe, no problem. It is definately a nice way of interacting with file contents. Also the only reason I use the fs library… I would use the io library's io:lines() function however last time I tried it, it didn't work exactly.That's my question!

Yeah… Strange. Anywho, thanks for the debugging/giving me a new way to interact with files. It's been a while since I've needed to ask questions about Lua but I guess today is my day to derp XD
