This is not how ask a pro works.
You need to specify your problem, and what you want the outcome to be.

At a glance, on line 7 you're using a comma where you appear to've intended to concatenate. In Lua, strings are joined by using two consecutive periods, eg:

"/xdows/localdrive/users/1/settings/wallpapers/" .. ub

If you're still having problems we're going to need a bit more information than that. Heck, just a bit of punctuation from you would be nice.

Truth be told, that'd result in an attempt to index nil. The "read" function is only available to file handles opened in binary mode - since you're working with text mode here, "readLine" is what you're after.
