Search TXT file for steam ID

[Zetos Lapier]

Ok, so I'm making a basic whitelist for my server and so far I have the following code.

[lua]
local id = file.Read( "jobs/whitelist/cpn_whitelist.txt" )
if id ~= nil then
local whitelist = string.find( id, ply:SteamID() )
if (whitelist > 0) then
ply:SetTeam( 2 )
else
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You, cannot use this class" )
end
else
ply:PrintMessage( HUD_PRINTTALK, "You, cannot use this class" )
end
[/lua]

My txt file looks like this:

[quote]
STEAM_0:0:11817524

[/quote]

It is not reading it though, any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

-= should be either ~= or !=

Also, don't use text saving, use tables and mysql.
So save all id's with ; between then explode them to produce a localised table of steamids.

I am using ~=

I also do not want to use mysql. XD

[lua]
local whitelists = file.Read( "jobs/whitelist/cpn_whitelist.txt" )
for _, sid in pairs(string.Explode("\n", whitelists)) do
if ply:SteamID() == sid then
ply:SetTeam(2)
else
ply:ChatPrint("You cannot use this class")
end
end
[/lua]
