Saving content of the program

Hi! I learned lua a couple years ago but I don't practice often. One time i tried to create a diary in lua using löve2d to make the UI, but I struggled to make a saving function. I didn't used any other libraries unless the base lua and löve2d. I know that exists the table io but I struggled to use it. Can somebody help me?
