You could just use :
Sfile = fs.open(input..".nfp", "w")
thats my way?
Sfile = fs.open(input..".nfp", "w")
thats my way?

local filename…".nfp" = read()

The string.format command can output the combination of two strings, variables, or one of each.
It is similar to printf in C. %s represents string, and two of them expects two arguments each being a string.
Example:
b should be "one.two"

If you want to use the user input, it should be like this:
local filename = read()
filename = filename..".nfp"
