Additional Notes

• Relative to garrysmod/data
• You cannot write to a file outside the data directory.
• You cannot write anything but *.txt files.
• Files are not opened in append mode. Files are emptied before they are written to. Use file.Append to append (add) to a file.
• The filename is decapitalized when the file is made, so "CAPSdontWORK.txt" will turn into "capsdontwork.txt" when saved
• You cannot write files with special characters such as the following, " : _ , this means you cannot save a filename as a SteamID
• As of the latest file.Write update, any filename containing a period will silently fail. This mean that you cannot use file names such as the following: "My_V1.1_Object.txt"
