Lua I/O work on linux?
i'm updating my PixelFxDesigner and i need to know
example:

Code: Select all

	file_ = io.open("effects\\"..tostring(_name)..".lua", "w")
  	file_:write(a)
  	file_:close()

io.open works, yes.

The directory separator is / though. Note that / also works on Windows so you can make it work on both by using /.

io.execute works too, but the typically available commands are not anything like on Windows. I'd just stay away from it.
