Save table value

Question

I would like to save the value assigned to a table in real time, I will explain.

I have 2 files:

Main moon.

dofile("tester.lua")

io.write("blabla")

table.insert(oi, io.read())

print(oi[1])

io.read()

---

Tester.moon

oi = {}

If I run and write: kkk return -> kkk But when closing the program, it is not saved in the file. How do I keep the value added to the table?

Answer 1

It may be interesting to open the file in a variable and edit the file by it at the end of the run:

dofile("tester.lua")
arquivo = assert(io.open("tester.lua", "w"), "Falha ao abrir arquivo") -- O assert é apenas caso possa dar algum erro, mas caso prefira, descomente a linha abaixo e comente essa!
--arquivo = io.open("tester.lua", "w")
io.write("blabla")
table.insert(oi, io.read())
print(oi[#oi])

texto = "oi = {"
for i = 1, #oi do
    texto = texto.."\""..tostring(oi[i]).."\""
    if not (i == #oi) then
        texto = texto..", "
    end
end
texto = texto.."}"

arquivo:write(texto)
arquivo:flush()
io.close(arquivo)
io.read()

This way, it will insert in the table the data that are passed at the prompt.
