Writing to files
-
I'm trying to write a script that prints the coordinates of all pixels on the screen to a csv file. I tried using
file = io.open("~/Desktop/test.csv")but file just returns nil, suggesting that the lua interpreter has been sandboxed.
I'm dealing with a lot of numbers, so the tiny window with the result of an expression is insufficient. Is there a way to get these values without manually typing them all out?Edited once by minecraft-physics. Last: 17th May 2016 -
You can print them to a file ... using the actual lua functions. open is a python function.
You probably want something likelocal file = io.open("~/Desktop/test.csv")
file:write("djfhasdfakljsdfhlkajsdfhlkajsdf")
file:close()
(untested, if those are the wrong functions, look at the lua reference manual) -
I originally did check the reference (it was a typo, I used io.open()) and the pointer still returns nil. I've found a workaround using tpt.setclipboard() though, so it's not an issue.

Hmm, maybe use 'w' as the second argument. Or use a full path, it may not understand the ~ for some reason
