[HELP] fileCreate

[Enargy,]

Hello, my mistake is that when I run the command by typing a text file created in the plogs.txt but if i write again this replaces the old text. I want to know is how do to add new text without deleting the old one.

server.lua

function createLogs(thePlayer, command, text) 
    local time = getRealTime() 
        dia  = time.hour     
        mes  = time.month 
        anio  = time.year    
     
    local fileHandle = fileCreate(":"..getResourceName(getThisResource()).."/txt/plogs.txt")   
    if fileHandle then 
        fileWrite(fileHandle, "* ["..dia.."/"..mes.."/"..anio.."] nickname = '"..getPlayerName(thePlayer).."'    text = '"..text.."' \n") 
        fileClose(fileHandle) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("addtext", createLogs) 

Regards.

That's because every time you run the command you are creating a new file-. Use this:

function createLogs(thePlayer, command, text) 
    local time = getRealTime() 
        dia  = time.hour    
        mes  = time.month 
        anio  = time.year    
   if not fileOpen (":"..getResourceName(getThisResource()).."/txt/plogs.txt") then 
    local fileHandle = fileCreate(":"..getResourceName(getThisResource()).."/txt/plogs.txt") 
    local fileread = fileOpen (":"..getResourceName(getThisResource()).."/txt/plogs.txt") 
   else 
   local fileread = fileOpen (":"..getResourceName(getThisResource()).."/txt/plogs.txt") 
   end 
    if fileread then 
        fileWrite(fileread, "* ["..dia.."/"..mes.."/"..anio.."] nickname = '"..getPlayerName(thePlayer).."'    text = '"..text.."' \n") 
        fileClose(fileread) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("addtext", createLogs)

Actually yes, it's exactly what Ciber told you above, though he's done few mistakes on the code he's given you.

Anyway, it's as simple as:

  
function createLogs(thePlayer, command, text) 
    local time = getRealTime() 
    local dia  = time.hour 
    local mes  = time.month 
    local anio  = time.year 
    local dir = "txt/plogs.txt" 
    local fileHandle = fileOpen(dir) or fileCreate(dir) 
    if fileHandle then 
        local content = fileRead(fileHandle, fileGetSize(fileHandle)) or "" 
        fileWrite(fileHandle, content, "* ["..dia.."/"..mes.."/"..anio.."] nickname = '"..getPlayerName(thePlayer).."'    text = '"..text.."' \n") 
        fileClose(fileHandle) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("addtext", createLogs)

@Ciber you're right in the act of creating the file but your code doesn't work not even the text is written to the file

Sorry, i'm on the mobile. Try the code that @novo gave you.

        fileClose(fileHandle) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("addtext", createLogs) 
  

it doesn't work. creating the file shows the following error:

WARNING: [server]\log\server.lua:127: fileOpen: unable to load file 
WARNING: [server]\log\server.lua:129: Bad usage @ 'fileRead' [bad number of bytes] 

the file is created with the first text but to repeat the procedure as it is not added the new text.

function createLogs(thePlayer, command, text) 
    local time = getRealTime() 
    local dia  = time.hour 
    local mes  = time.month 
    local anio  = time.year 
    local dir = "txt/plogs.txt" 
    local fileHandle = ((fileExists(dir) and fileOpen(dir)) or fileCreate(dir)) 
    if fileHandle then 
        local content = (fileRead(fileHandle, (fileGetSize(fileHandle) or 0)) or "") 
        fileWrite(fileHandle, content, "* ["..dia.."/"..mes.."/"..anio.."] nickname = '"..getPlayerName(thePlayer).."'    text = '"..text.."' \n") 
        fileClose(fileHandle) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("addtext", createLogs)
