Need help with file.Read

[LetsTutorial]

Hey, i just have a small question with file.Read!
I made a serverside script which should read a txt file out of the servers data folder.
I tried it like that:

local primary = file.Read( convert( ply:SteamID() ) .. "ld/" .. convert( ply:SteamID() ) .. "primary", "DATA" )

if primary == "p1" then
       //CODE
end

but i get errors that the value "primary" is nil.

Can someone please explain me what i did wrong and maybe correct me? :)

Thanks!

How are you writing into the file?

In a Derma with a button.
The file is located in the servers data folder and the write process is fully working!

	
file.Write( "ld/" .. convert( ply:SteamID() ) .. "primary" .. ".txt", "p1" )

I just have problems to read the file.

 local primary = file.Read("ld/" .. convert( ply:SteamID() ) .. "primary.txt", "DATA" )

I'm on my phone. May be mistakes.

Error: attempt to index local 'primary' (a nil value) in line 361
Thats the line:

local primary = file.Read( "ld/" .. convert( ply:SteamID() ) .. "primary", "DATA" )
