  You're on the right way
  
  In corona, to open and read contents of a file in documents directory, you use:

  local path = system.pathForFile( "data.txt", system.DocumentsDirectory ) local f = io.open(path, "rt") local t = f:read("*all") f:close()

  In Gideros, we don't allow users to get the directory paths. Because, in the future, we plan to port Gideros to different platforms which doesn't even have a file system. Therefore, to open a file on the documents directory, simply use "|D|data.txt" as the filename:

  local f = io.open("|D|data.txt", "rt") local t = f:read("*all") f:close()

  btw, I hope you like the new forum
  
  To highlight your Lua code, you can try
  
  <pre lang="lua">
  print("hello")
  </pre>
  
  which results

  print("hello")

  Also there are different highlighters available such ac "objc" or "xml" besides "lua".

  New forum looks good and easy to use like Gideros.
