if u dont know what im trying to ask then tell me and ill try to explane it in more detail

thanks for any help

Well the way you've worded this is a bit confusing, but as far as I can tell you're asking for how you might read a variable from another file. If that is indeed the case, then try this:

local f = fs.open("youfile", "r")
local content = {}
local sRead = f.readLine()
while sRead do
  table.insert(content, sRead)
  sRead = f.readLine()
end
f.close()

Now the table 'content' has the entire file in it separated by lines. If you have the information you want stored on line two, content[2] will have that line. If you need to convert that information to a number, just use tonumber(content[2]).

i found an easier way by doing dofile("filename") but thanks for the input

That will probably be the easiest way for you to do it.
