Multiply variable reading of io.open
 

Hello! I have been looking around almost everywhere and not found any example or anything about how you store more than 1 value inside a document.

However I would strongly appreciate a example or if it´s even possible to do so

--Loading the stored variables into a program

local Reader = io.read(file, 'w+')
if Reader:read(1stvariable) then
Variableinside program = 1stvariable
end
if Reader:read(2ndvariable) then
Variableinside program = 2ndvariable
end
Reader:close()

2nd question is

can I use io.write() to only edit the 1stvariable/2ndvariable

in other words how can I edit the 1stvariable/2ndvariable without editing the other one?

Hope I did describe what I want! I'm so thankful if anyone could take their time to help me!

lua file library is disabled for the lotro implementation. for saving/loading settings use the plugindata class
