File wont save [SLOVED]

[Andlac028]

I added this to the love.update function and it tells me that the file name is illegal or is insecure

Code: Select all

	if love.keyboard.isDown("return") then
            local success, message = love.filesystem.write(game.file_n, game.txt)
            if success then
                print("File saved successfully!")
            else
                print("Error saving file:", message)
            end
        end

And what is the filename?

The file name can differ as the user enters it.

Ok, tell me, what is the filename and content when error is thrown (eg add print with all parameters as in love.filesystem.write to print with error)

prob need to sanitize the user input. love.filesystem.write will only write to specific directories (detailed in docs above) and it sounds like the path being specified isn't one of them.

It should only be a filename, and not a full path though; otherwise most characters should be accepted as names anyway.

its just the file name not the full path

You're welcome, although for future reference, playing one question - one partial answer might not be the best of ideas; i believe that if you posted all relevant code we might have solved this in just one post.
