Writing to an ini file possible?

[Spawnova]

Is it possible to create some type of external file such as ini or txt through wow's lua?

I've googled quite a bit but cannot find anything

Ehhh... kind of. You could save all your information to your AddOn's SavedVariable file and then create a program to extract the data from that once you've exited WoW. Or use WoW's chat/combat logging and then use a program to extract data from that. Either way, information only gets saved to disk upon logout or UI reload and you can't create your own files.

Ah, that's to bad but I think reading it from saved variables is actually a good idea thank you =)
