Though, that would just output it, right? I'm looking to check, rather than output.if you have a file like this for example:you could use this to get the user's rank:Mk352:banned Cloudy:admin PixelToast:awesome
rank=line:match("."..user..":(/>[^\n]+).")
basically it looks to see if there is something after user..":"
(.+) will output anything, as long as the user exists

Hate to bother you, but I'm still confused. I need to check this from another program; not the file with the 'admin list' in it.isAdmin=line:match(".*"..user.." :(/>[^\n]+).")=="admin"
or if you just have a normal list with just names
isAdmin=line:match(".*("..user..")\n*")~=nil

local file=fs.open("admins","r")
local admins=file.readAll()
file.close()
while true do
e,p=os.pullEvent("player")
if admins:match(".*("..p..")\n*") then
-- do stuff
end

If you don't specify a mode, it's automaticaly set to read.uhhh pixel don't you need to specify a mode eg.("r","w","a") so I believe it should befs.open("admins", "r")

okay, (I've checked the APIs) It's a feature of the IO API, the FS API don't provides this feature… right?Incorrect… you would get the following errorIf you don't specify a mode, it's automaticaly set to read.<filename>:<line number>: Expected string, string

Correct… If you do this code:okay, (I've checked the APIs) It's a feature of the IO API, the FS API don't provides this feature… right?
local h = io.open("test")
for k,v in pairs(h) do
print(k," = ",v)
end
h:close()
local h = fs.open("test")
for k,v in pairs(h) do
print(k," = ",v)
end
h.close()

this is easier, he can edit the file directly instead of using textutils.serializeWhy not use have a table which has textutils.serialize applied to it and saved in a file?
