user friendly to do list

When I want to edit my to do list I need to edit the program and then reboot, I made the to do list I an just looking for a separate program that will ask questions like what line and then you can edit the line then when you are done it will automatically reboot.

Split into new topic.

Please post your existing code and any error messages you receive while running it.

I was bored, and feeling kind. If you wanted to save the to-do list in a file try something like this:

if not fs.exists("todo") then
handle = fs.open("todo", "w")
handle.writeLine("{}")
handle.close()
end

handle = fs.open("todo", "r")
todo = textutils.unserialize(handle.readLine())
handle.close()

term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("To-do list")
print("Please enter the item number in the to-do list")
n = tonumber(read())
if type(n) == "nil" then term.clear() term.setCursorPos(1,1) error("That was not a number", 0) end
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
if not todo[n] then
 print("Current value: nil" )
 print("Please enter the new value")
 new = read()
 todo[n] = new
else
 print("Current value: " .. todo[n] )
 print("Please enter the new value")
 new = read()
 todo[n] = new
end

handle = fs.open("todo", "w")
handle.writeLine(textutils.serialize(todo))
handle.close()

You might get bad responses if you ask for people to make you programs in this forum. :)/>

No error messages, paste bin code will be posted shortly

I know, I will edit it!
EDIT: done!

You edited the code a couple posts above? And what do I name the programs(s)?

How about 'ToDo'?

Sorry but is that the displayer to the monitor and the editor. Or is it just the editor????




Thanks for your time

You might want to have a look at my Todo program then, it has a simple editor that could get you started.
