Function

Synopsis

success = love.filesystem.write( name, data, size )

Arguments

string name
The name (and path) of the file
string data
The data that should be written to the file
number size (all)
How many bytes to write

Returns

boolean success
If the operation was successful

Notes

If you are getting the error message "Could not set write directory", try setting the save directory. This is done either with love.filesystem.setIdentity or by setting the identity field in love.conf (only available with LÖVE 0.7.0 or higher).

Writing to multiple lines: On Windows, use the escape characters \r\n to move to the next line for writing. On any other OS \n alone should suffice.

--example (Windows)
f = love.filesystem.newFile("note.txt")
f:open()
for i = 1, 10 do f:write("This is line "..i.."!\r\n") end
f:close()
