fs

This is the filesystem API. this API focuses specifically on the UnrealVRMod/GameName/data subdirectory.

In newer builds of UEVR, the io API is fully supported, but it can only access the UnrealVRMod/GameName/data directory and the stdout/in/err streams. io.popen is also removed.

The io APIs have access to the scripts directory via the $scripts token passed at the start of the filepath string for any of the functions.

Methods

fs.glob(filter)

Returns a table of file paths that match the filter. filter should be a regex string for the files you wish to match.

Example

-- Get my mods JSON files.
local json_files = fs.glob([[my-cool-mod\\.*json]])

-- Iterate over them.
for k, v in ipairs(json_files) do
    -- v will be something like `my-cool-mod\config-file-1.json` 
end

fs.read(filename)

Reads filename and returns the data as a string.

fs.write(filename, data)

Writes data to filename. data is a string.
