Help me! fs.open

local fileHandle = fs.open("/path/to/file", "w") -- Open /path/to/file with write permissions

fileHandle.write("Some Text") -- Replaces the current contents of /path/to/file with "Some Text"

fileHandle.close() -- Stops editing, you should always do this.

local fileHandle = fs.open("/path/to/file", "r") -- Open /path/to/file with read permissions

local contents = fileHandle.readAll() -- Saves the contents of /path/to/file to the contents variable

fileHandle.close() -- Stops reading

local fileHandle = fs.open("/path/to/file", "r") -- Open /path/to/file with read permissions

local lineToGet = 5 -- Which line to read?
local lineContents = "" -- Will contain the contents of that line


for _ = 1, lineToGet do -- Repeats until it reaches the right line.
 lineContents = fileHandle.readLine() -- Reads the line.
end

fileHandle.close()

And fs.writeLine() works too?

local fileHandle = fs.open("/path/to/file", "w") -- Open /path/to/file with write permissions

local fileHandle = fs.open("/path/to/file", "a") -- Open /path/to/file with append permissions

No, contents will be a string containing the entire file.
