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"
