My Problem is that i want to write multiple Turtle ID's or any Number really into a file using the for i = 1 , data but it only writes the last number :l
For anyone who wants to know the purpose of the code: CCpoly (Computercraft Monopoly
my code
Spoiler
    • print("How many players do you want?1 Turtle = 1 Player")
    • local input = tonumber(read())
    • local file = fs.open("monooptions","w")
    • file.write(textutils.serialize(input))
    • textutils.unserialize(input)
    • file.close()
    • print("Starting CCpolio")
    • sleep(3)
    • local bimp = fs.open("monooptions","r")
    • local data = bimp.readAll()
    • for i=1, data do
    • local durk = fs.open("monop","w")
    • print("Turtle Id")
    • local derp = tonumber(read())
    • durk.write(textutils.serialize(derp))
    • durk.close()
    • end

file = fs.open("monop", "w")
for i=1, data do
  local int = tonumber(read())
  file.writeLine(int)
end
file.close()

The problem is that the mode w overwrites the content of the file. So you have to open the file and then write the stuff in there.

Why on earth are you using textutils.serialize? That's not what it's for.
