WriteConfig

The WriteConfig function writes a configuration table to a file in the configs directory where the Ghost executable file is. The configuration files in the Ghost system are heavily encrypted, ensuring the safety and integrity of the data. It can not be read in plain text nor can it be scanned by another process.

Parameters

• fileName: The name of the configuration file to write. The file will be located in the configs directory within the scripts folder.
• configTable: A table containing the configuration data to be written.

Example Usage in Lua

Here is an example of how to use the WriteConfig function in Lua, including reading a configuration file, modifying it, and writing it back to disk:

local api = ...

-- Function to read, modify, and write a configuration file
function ModifyAndWriteConfig(fileName)
    -- Read the existing configuration file
    local configTable = api.ReadConfig(fileName)
    if configTable then
        -- Print the original configuration
        print("Original configuration:")
        for key, value in pairs(configTable) do
            print(key, value)
        end

        -- Modify the configuration table
        configTable.newKey1 = "newValue1"
        configTable.newKey2 = "newValue2"

        -- Write the modified configuration back to disk
        api.WriteConfig(fileName, configTable)
        print("Modified configuration written to: " .. fileName)
    else
        print("Failed to read config file: " .. fileName)
    end
end

-- Example usage: Modify and write the contents of "exampleConfig.ghost"
ModifyAndWriteConfig("exampleConfig.ghost")
