Text Input Values

I am hoping to release something that will mark myself. It is a simple social app but here is the main part. You can enter in text about 8 seperate lines and a user can edit these 8 lines to anything and then save it so the main document would display it is like I have on the main doc, Hi and I have a button that I switch the screen to a new screen which you enter values in a text field and you can save it and then close out and your changes will appear so Hi becomes bye [import]uid: 39840 topic_id: 11575 reply_id: 311575[/import]

for save your texts you can use a simple and greaty sample of Peach

i guess is that
and for update yout text you may use:

local myText = display.newText( "Hi", \_W/2, \_H/2, nil, 50 )  
local testeText = 0  
local changeText = function()  
 if testeText == 1 then  
 myText.text = "Bye"  
 end  
end  
  

I dont know if that what you want…
another way is get acess to native keyboard, that i think it is what you realy want, and save in a variable
