File handling
 

hi im very new with lua, how do i load file from lua? like "test.log"
i have tried use io.open and always get error msg. thanks

The WoW Lua environment does not include some of the normal Lua libraries, such as io.

You cannot read or write files from a WoW AddOn.

aw i had three hours to find a way how to read the file, btw thanks alot :)

Try opening the file with "Notepad" if you're on a Window's system.

If your looking to mess with Lua alot, check out Notepad++

You can also open in Edit Plus which is the same as Notepad++. There is no big difference between them.
