[ERROR] attempt to call nil [SOLVED]

I have a problem with the following code:

function add()
if not fs.isDir("myNotes") then fs.makeDir("myNotes") end

local note = fs.open("myNotes/notes", "w")
print("Type your note.")
print("Or type 'exit' to reboot notes")
note = read()

if note == "exit" then
  ask()
else
note.writeLine( note )
note.close()
ask()
end
end

The error is on note.writeLine(note)

Instead of storing the function read() inside a variable, just do this:

local note = fs.open("lols","w")
print("Type your note")
note.writeLine(read())
note.close()

EDIT: nvm, ninja'd

What about the "exit" command?

Just change note in

note = read()

to some other variable name (like input), and use than same name when you check if its "exit". THat way it won't overwrite the opened file which is stored to note

Odd. It works.
