Writing a file

[CougarFFW04]

Hi everyone,

I would like to write a file within a DCS script with the following :

	-- Opens a file in read
	file = io.open("G:\test.lua", "w")
	file:write("TOTO\n")
	-- closes the open file
	io.close(file)

But I get an error accesing a nil value...

Howerver G is an valid USB key...
What's going on ?

 

Thanks ?

Is it maybe treating \t as an escape character? Maybe try using / in your file path instead?

Have you de-sanitized your DCS installation? By default, the modules lfs, io and os are 'sanitized', i.e. set to nil. That may be where you get the nil error from. It would of course help if you posted the error message and location where the error happened.

Hy Guys,

In fact it was both...
io was 'sanitized' and one must use \\ instead of \ in the path.

Thanks
