Some prob with writing something in a file

Hey everybody!

Here my prob:


When I'm trying to write something in a file,nothing happen. I'm probably doing something bad but I don't know what is it.

Here is the code:

local modem = peripheral.wrap("back")

modem.open(10)

event,side,frequency,replyFrequency, message, distance = os.pullEvent("modem_message")

fs.open("here","w").write(textutils.unserialise(message))
--message is a string value after being unserialise

thanks for your help!

Ps:Give me some feedback on my spelling and writing. English is not my maternal language and I have some difficulties with it.

You'll want to do it this way:

file = fs.open("here","w")
file.write("stuff")
file.close()

You need to close the file in order to tell ComputerCraft/Java/Windows to actually save the file and free it so other programs can edit it.

And unserialize returns a table, so there is no way for it to be a string.

thx dude
sorry for my noobism ^^

Oh that is OK. I was like this some months ago.

It returns whatever serialized data you gave it. The way it currently is setup and depending on the serialized data it may return these types: nil, number, boolean, string, table, function. textutils.serialize can only serialize these types (note that it's not only tables!): nil, boolean, number, string, table (non-recursive only).
