To open a file, clear it and then write use "w" mode
Use "a" mode to append to the file.
local file = fs.open("startup", "w")
file.write([[--Use multi string lines
--for it to be
--spread over
--multiple lines
print("hi")]])
file.close()Use "a" mode to append to the file.
local file = fs.open("startup", "a")
file.write([[--This text
--should be found at the end of the startup file
print("Appended successfully!")]])
file.close()
