You may be asking "What Is A FileObject?" right now, but you won't be at the end of this tutorial.

A fileobject is what the TGE (Torque Game Engine) uses to write or read from files by user request.
You can use fileobjects to "clean" a file, write to a file, and read from a file.

Your basic writer:

function write(%word)
{
new fileobject(Writer);
Writer.openforwrite("Written.txt");
Writer.writeline(%word);
Writer.close();
Writer.delete();
}

As you may think, Writer.delete(); would delete the actual file.
But actually, Writer.delete(); deletes the file OBJECT Tribes 2 uses to write to Written.txt.
Writer.close(); just removes the TGE's influence from the file and updates the file as well.

Your Basic Reader:

function read(%file)
{
new fileobject(Reader);
Reader.openforread(%file);
while (!Reader.iseof())
{
%line = Reader.readline();
echo(%line);
}
Reader.close();
Reader.delete();
}

Same thing applies for Writer's .close(); and .delete(); functions here.
Except this would echo the contents of the specified file into your console.
