I try to run this program


if not fs.exists("SIDE") then
  write("What side is your door on?")
  side = read()
  local file = io.open("SIDE","w")
  file:write(side)
  file:close
  shell.run("setTime")
else
  shell.run("setTime")
end

and it gives me this error

bios:337: [string "setSide"]:7: function arguments expected

Can someone please help?
