I'm using this code to write things into a file and it isnt working. It doesn't give an error but it says failed, therefor it doesn't find the file. But I have it there and have tested it with "r" to read. When I change the "w" to "r" and remove file.write(input) it works. So i got a feeling file.write(input) is wrong somehow but I cant see how...

file = fs.open("/rom/programs/computer/Nightfall/savedvars/SFGarageDoorStatus.txt", "w")
if file then
    input = read()
file.write(input)
file.close()
print("Saved "..input..".")
else
print("Failed")
end

The /rom/ directory is restricted from editing by programs.

This fact was even mentioned in your previous topic asking a similar question:

Of course, you won't be able to write to it there (can't write to rom), but you should be able to read it fine with the correct path.

Ah my bad, so where can you write files safely?

[Kingdaro]

The best place to write files is in the same directory as the script that's doing the writing.

Okay, I put the file in the same folder as the script that is doing it but it still doesn't work. Even if I delete the lol.txt file it still wants me to type it therefor indicating that it found the file :? It doesn't write inside the file though .

file = fs.open("lol.txt", "w")
if file then
  input = read()
  file.write(input)
  file.close()
  print("read "..input..".")
else
  print("Failed")
end

The program isn't in rom either, right?

Nope, it's only in the exact folder where the code is

[Kingdaro]

I just read your post as "the code is where the code is".

Is the code in your /saves/[you world name]/computer/[your computer id]?

I'm using a multiplayer server, might this be the problem?

Again, you have the file in the rom folder, not in a computer's folder. Somewhere in world/computer/<computerID> should be where it's at, not in the rom.

The file im trying to write to now is at path: H:/Hurrdurr/Games/MC/Tekkit_Server_3.1.2/RandomStuff/computer/388/SFGarageDoorStatus.txt

-- RandomStuff is the name of the world map. I've tried that path and "RandomStuff/computer/388/SFGarageDoorStatus.txt" but it doesn't work.
