I need the following program to read all the data and print it: Im not sure why its not working.

Spoiler

function comR()
com = read()
navigate()
end

function ask()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Type 'add' to add a note.")
print("Type 'view' to view notes.")
print("Type 'delete' to delete notes.")
print("Type 'exit' to exit the program")
comR()
end
function navigate()
if com == "exit" then
  os.reboot()
elseif com == "add" then
  add()
elseif com == "view" then
  view()
elseif com == "delete" then
  del()
else
  print("Unknown input")
  sleep(2)
  ask()
end
end
function add()
local note = fs.open("myNotes/notes", "w")

if not fs.isDir("myNotes") then fs.makeDir("myNotes") end

print("Type your note.")
print("Or type 'exit' to reboot notes")
input = read()

if input == "exit" then
  ask()
else
note.writeLine( input )
ask()
note.close()
end
end
function view()
note = fs.open("myNotes/notes", "r")
print("")
print("notes:")
print(note.readAll())
note.close()
print("Please Re-Type Command")
comR()
end
ask()

It wont write more than one note and once you do write more than one the view does not return any notes.

Edit2: Try doing print(line) in FOR loop ending when line equals nil

Edit: derp...

Fs Library:

local handle = fs.open(yourFileName,"r")
local lines = handle.readLine()
for lines in handle.readLine do
 print(lines)
end
handle.close()

IO Library:

local handle = io.open("test","r")
local lines = handle:lines()
for lines in handle:lines() do
 print(lines)
end
handle:close()

EDIT: Remember to close your file handles

The view does not work. it does not print anything however just looks for another input.

The what? Both of these script should work (You have to change the fileName of course)

EDIT: Just tested, these scripts both work flawlessly. Check the file name and make sure it exists on your computer.

It gives me a error on line 55 of the following code:

  handle.close()
  print("Please Re-Type Command To Continue")
end
comR()
end
ask()

It's the "for handle in handle.readLine do"

[SuicidalSTDz]

You are closing the file handle inside the for loop that uses the file contents:

handle = fs.open("myNotes/notes", "r")
lines = handle.readLine()
for lines in handle.readLine do
  print("")
  print("notes:")
  print(lines)
  handle.close()
  print("Please Re-Type Command To Continue")
end

Close it afterward

handle = fs.open("myNotes/notes", "r")
lines = handle.readLine()
for lines in handle.readLine do
  print("")
  print("notes:")
  print(lines)
  print("Please Re-Type Command To Continue")
end
handle.close()
