Hi

Is it possible for Corona to update a remote text file and retrieve data from there too, Is it possible to do this simulataneously? I.e. 5 users all updating and retrieving the same file? I cant find any guide for this.

Thx

The API’s you need for this are under the “network” section, i.e. network.request(), etc.   To answer your other questions, it all depends on the server that you will be using to host this.  You have to consider factors like if I download, edit it in my app and you download it and edit it in your app, then I get done before you and upload the file.  You won’t have my changes and when you upload your file, it will write over my changes.

Thanks for your reply, exactly thats my concern, hence im now looking into using parse.com as an option?

You should check out this plugin for using Parse.com with Corona SDK. https://bitbucket.org/develephant/mod_parse/wiki/Home
