I'm Having a little trouble.. Can anyone help?

[draa0gon]

I'm having Some trouble with love.filesystem.write, it works when I use

Code: Select all

data, size = love.filesystem.read("opts.txt", all )
a = data * 1

love.filesystem.write("opts.txt", a, all )

but not when I use

Code: Select all

stuff = {}
for line in love.filesystem.lines ("opts.txt") do
  table.insert (stuff, line)
end
a = stuff[1] * 1

love.filesystem.write("opts.txt", a, all )

-- error: Could not open file.

So, Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Which line is causing the error? Is it love.filesystem.lines or love.filesystem.write?

[draa0gon]

The error is from "love.filesystem.write("opts.txt", a, all )"

[draa0gon]

Also..
The first part of each code is run in love.load,
But the second parts are run when a key is pressed.

I just omitted that code 'cause I figured it wouldn't make a difference.

I'm not getting any errors anywhere else, but if you need the whole code I can put it up.

I think maybe love.filesystem.lines doesn't close the file... that would be a bug in LÖVE.

[draa0gon]

Yeah... I thought so.. *sigh* I hoped I just did something wrong..
oh well, is there any way to force close the file,
or another simple way to get lines?

I guess I could just write a function to take the lines I want myself, but I hoped I wouldn't have to..

Less work = better, yes?

[draa0gon]

Well, I wrote the function, it works by finding spaces.
I'm sure any of you could make something like this, But hopefully it helps someone.

Please excuse my sloppy programing, I'm told it burns eyes.

Code: Select all

function love.load()
stuff = {}
data , size = love.filesystem.read("YourFileNameHere.txt",all)

findspaces(data,size,stuff)

a = stuff[1] * 1

end


function findspaces(text,size,Table)
oi = 1
flow = 0
for i = 1,size do
flow = flow + 1
dig = string.sub(text,i,i)
if dig == " " then
line = string.sub(text,oi,flow - 1)
table.insert(Table,line)
oi = flow
end end end

function love.draw()
love.graphics.print(a,200,200)
end
