  @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
