well you have the file *****.lua and the info as a table.

inside the file would look like this

Code: Select all

return { "socks", "shoes", "hats"}

So the code to save it would be something like

Code: Select all

local file = io.open("filename.lua", "w")
file:write('return { "socks", "shoes", "hats"}')
file:close();

then you get the info from the file using include.

Code: Select all

tableinfo = {}
tableinfo  = include("filename.lua")
table.print(tableinfo)

That is the most basic way I can think of for what you said you wanted.
