Is it possible to open/use one file multiple times at the same time? (I'm sorry if this question has been asked before, couldn't find anything after a quick search.)
Example:
local r = fs.open("file","r")
local w = fs.open("file","w")
print(r.readAll())
w.write("this is text")
r.close()
w.close()
Thanks.

I haven't actually tested this, hell why would you ever need to? But yeah it should be possible, however the read file will probably not change until you close both of them and open the read again.

Why would you need that? (I don't think that would work, so no)
You could just write:
local f = fs.open("file", "r")
print(f.readAll())
f.close()
local f = fs.open("file", "w")
f.write("this is text")
f.close()

I understand. Thanks for your help, I got it working with wieselkatze's solution.
