Save data to .lua file in project

Kaligula

I have

GamePlan.lua

file inside my project whcih holds all

metadata about levels in game

. I want in debug mode ( I set flag in game ) to be able to save some data to this file ( for example table

{1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 }

). Is this possible at all ?
I am trying to create levels for game from the game in debug mode.
I tried via

table.save( some tbl, "GamePlan.lua" )

but nothing happens.

@Kaligula have you tried dataSaver?
http://appcodingeasy.com/Gideros-Mobile/Save-and-load-data-module-for-Gideros-Mobile

you can easily save tables in json and then load them in lua.

You can also write what you want in text files, see here:

@pie Thanks for quick answer, I am new to Gideros so I am little confused. I tried code from suggested links and it works. I didn't notice earlier because I couldn't find that file in project directory after writing. Is this file going to be part of instalation (.apk, .ipa ) files ( so I can be sure it will exist always with those value ) ?

table does not have save method by itself, you can extend it by adding this method or using existing modules, like dataSaver

@ar2rsawseen Thanks for clarification, It is working with file:write and file:read, but if I only once run through gideros studio write to file test.txt is this file going to exist in installation file ( .apk and .ipa )

The files you are writing are not going to exist in installation file, unless you don't include them in the project by yourself

see how gideros filesystem works

when you save in |D| you are saving in a "private directory": on windows it is located under: C:\Users\_YOUR_USER_\AppData\Local\Temp\gideros
