Please check the Wiki under the filesystem section. It's a very simple thing to do.
http://www.love2d.org/wiki/love.filesystem
There's information on how to use all the filesystem commands in there. They're extremely easy to use.

How did it not help? What exactly have you tried so far? It's pretty general stuff if you already know how to do most of the other Löve stuff.
Are you trying to save data from within Löve? Or are you asking how to create your .lua files?

To read a file:
Code: Select all
stringwithcontents = love.filesystem.read("filename.txt")
To write a file:
Code: Select all
love.filesystem.write("filename.txt", stringwithcontents)
