LÖVE

Hey, I'm brand new to love2d. How do you get the contents of a file?
[[ Context: I'm making a game where you need a password to play. The password gets saved if it's Correct. How do I read the password back to the game so users dont have to re-enter the password. ]]
P.S: I Checked the forums, and it said something about returns, and I honestly have no idea how to use return. I've been using lua for about 2 years and I got no idea how to use returns.

Dude i just literally gave you the code in another thread.

Not to read, to check if the file exists.. This is to read

The function used is literally named read() what do you expect it does?

Hi
I suggest to get familiar with basic concepts of Lua and Löve.
Otherwise you will constantly run into obstacles or do things in very weird and cumbersome ways.
For example using a function that reads a file can be super confusing if you do not yet know how functions work in general.
On the wiki is a list of tutorials, both texts and videos:

This one seems good: https://sheepolution.com/learn/book/contents
In chapter 3 it explains functions and functions with return values.
