File wont save [SLOVED]

[zalander]

Hi there,
I have been recently working on a project but i encountered a problem where my file wont save here is the code :

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	--load stuff
end
function love.update()
	-- things
	if love.keyboard.isDown("return") then
            if love.filesystem.getInfo(game.file_n) then
                love.filesystem.write(game.file_n, game.txt)
            else
                love.filesystem.newFile(game.file_n..".lua")
                love.filesystem.write(game.file_n, game.txt)
            end
            love.event.quit()
        end
end
function love.draw()
	--draw stuff
end

Did you forget the quotes around "game.txt"? I assume you want that as a filename and not a variable.

No its a variable

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

What is the content of game.txt? Can you add also print for it?

The naming was a bit confusing, since i assumed the second parameter was the filename when it wasn't;
what's in game.file_n ?

game.file_n contains a string which is the file name

            else
                print("Error saving file:", message)
            end
        end

And what is the filename?

            end
        end

And what is the filename?

The file name can differ as the user enters it.
