I am trying to make something and I need a config file system.
Is there any easy way to use a file for that?

You can get started by looking at this easy FS tutorial. Here. And if you still have questions, i'm sure we'll be happy to help

As a bit of an example, take a read through lines 1160-1204 in this script. If the game's INI file is found in the current directory, it opens it and parses the contents. If it's not, it generates a new INI file, and the default values defined up on line 32 are used instead.

Wouldn't a serialized table make things easier? For the programmers at least?

In the event that you do actually want an API which deals with configuration files for you, I have an API called ccConfig which you can find in my programs thread (link in signature), it supports the ability for you to have user configurable strings, numbers, booleans, colours, etc.

Yeah, you could use serialized tables pretty easily. just use textutils and fs to do it. I actaully use that method for my configs.
