erroring line 8:
local newdata = data:match(":"..":"..file2..":"..".+);".."/;"..file2..";"..";"):gsub("=n".."32", " \ ".."n")
thinks its nil.
function activator:
setFileData("nu","nu,","hi")
other note: "nu" is the file's name

i put data in the ::nu::;/;nu;; section, now it just doesnt return anything

What's with the excessive quotes?

local newdata = data:match("::"..file2.."::(.+);/;"..file2..";;"):gsub("=n32", " \ n")

What does it "think is nil"? Are you saying that's what newdata ends up being set to, or...? Where's a sample of "data"?

fixed it

and to awnser, im escaping special chars

[Bomb Bloke]

... no you're not?

But that's a good point, that last one should probably be either "\n" or " \\ n". Not sure what you were going for.

=n32, :: ;/; and ;; are special chars

[MKlegoman357]

Concatenating strings doesn't escape anything. And in what context are those characters special?

[Bomb Bloke]

In his context.

He's saying he's dividing them up because he wants to.
