Example
This example creates a new text file and writes an string in it.
local newFile = fileCreate("test.txt") -- Try creating the file. if newFile then -- Check if was sucessfully created. fileWrite(newFile, "This is a test file!") -- Write a text line. fileClose(newFile) -- Close the file after writing in it. end
