It it possible at moment to write to file and read from file in LUA?

I am looking for some way to save level score and overall game score thus creating high score tables.
If I could save the score to disk file then read them; the current score could be added to the previous score etc etc.

Then by doing a logic script the score will transcribe into which level was last played, Kind of thing.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Yes you can write to your own dat files and read from them.

I have no idea how. But if you post in the script section of the forum you might get some help from the script heads over there

Obviusly not the full solution, but might help:

+ Code Snippet

high_score = {}

function write_score_init(e)

end

function write_score_main(e)
for i = 1,#high_score,1 do
	file = io.open("high_score.txt", "a+") -- file will be create, if does not exists -- append data
	file:write(high_score[i] .."\n")
	file:close()
end
end

In the end of the first post, Moshroom gives some scripts for free that write file to disk and read them back. You can use these as an example if you choose.

If you are ever wondering what you can do in lua and it's capable of most things is check out the lua reference guide

It does help to look in there occasionally.
