I save a table “tfList” using table.save in Lua:

\startluacode

...

table.save(“tempList.lua”,tfList)

...

\stopluacode

And I call it in MetaFun using a method explained in the MetaFun book.

\startMPcode

…

\stopMPcode

However, I found that whenever I save “tfList”, table contents are appended to the file “tempList.lua” at the end which cause a trouble.

I want the tempList.lua contains the new table only.

I search the method to do that, but I can’t find it.

The only way is to change the file name each time which is not good to make a macro.

Is there a way to clear the contents in the tempList.lua before I save another table?

 Thank you for reading.

Best regards,
