This will open a file so you can write from Game Maker into it. It returns the id of the file you opened so whenever you try to write to it, you use this id. You have to include the directory of the file you want to open but you can use the variables working_directory for the folder where the game is being run from or temp_directory for the temp folder (if you included files and extracted them to there). This will add on to the end of a file when you write to it instead of erasing the file like file_text_open_write.
