Player Detector Door Trigger Failing[Solved]

-- All you need to do to have the program handle more players is add them to this list:
local players = {"kauqilla","Tarsk69"}  

-- Expands the table out a bit so's we can put our counters in it too:
for i=1,#players do
  players[i] = {name = players[i], count = 0}
end 
-- "#players" returns the number of items in the "players" table (sorta).

while true do
  event, player = os.pullEvent("player")

  for i=1,#players do
    if player == players[i].name then
      print(players[i].name.." has entered")
      players[i].count = players[i].count + 1
      redstone.setOutput ("right", true )
      sleep(1)

      m.clear()
      break  -- Stop the for loop, 'cause if player[i] was a match, we won't find another match.
    else
      print("Invalid Player")
      rs.setOutput("left",true)
    end
  end
end

fs.open("attendance" , r)
attendance = fs.readAll(textutils.unserialize("attendance"))
---then in the code i would add the count and then
fs.open("attendance" , w)
fs.write(textutils.serialize())
or am I missing parts?
