I am trying to make a OS/UI, and i need to get a table out of a file what is the best way to do it??

i am now using:


file = fs.open(path,"r") -- path is actually a real path!
local Buttons = file.readAll()
file.close()


Any way to fix this??

(If there is any wrong English i am sorry from Holland )

textutils.unserialize(Buttons) (American version)

Er, wouldn't that be...?

local Buttons = textutils.unserialise(file.readAll())

The file would need to contain nothing but the table structure. Experiment with textutils.serialise(someTable) for examples of what you can put in it.

Either way works since buttons would equal the content and as long as my example is set to something it will be reuseable.

...which you didn't show in your post. Your post would imply using textutils.serialize on the variable would make the variable a table, when in fact that is impossible to do in Lua.

The variable is a string of data that is in this case assumed to be a serialised table.
