Hi,
I have an app with a data.txt file in the root folder (comes pre-loaded on a mobile with the app). I want to read and write to this file. I can read from the file using res:// but I cannot write to it since I have to use ‘user://’ prefix, which points to a different location I believe.
Here’s my code fragment:
func _on_btn_read_pressed():
var file_read = File.new()
if(file_read.open("res://data.txt", File.READ) != 0):
$lbl_file_data.text = "error opening file"
else:
$lbl_file_data.text = file_read.get_as_text()
file_read.close()
pass
func _on_btn_write_pressed():
var text = $TextEdit.text
var file_write = File.new()
if(!file_write.file_exists("user://data.txt")):
$lbl_file_data.text = "no file to write to"
elif(file_write.open("user://data.txt", File.WRITE) != 0):
$lbl_file_data.text = "error writing to file"
else:
file_write.seek_end()
file_write.store_line(text)
file_write.close()
How can I write to the same file that I read data from? Do I have to create a file programatically on app startup?
Thanks
