Hi there. I want to load a file from my PC and then modify it by aob scan. How to do that in Lua? Thanks.

Edit: Sorry for the confusion. Actually I mean that I want to create a trainer that can load a file and by clicking a button on the trainer, it will do a aob scan and modify the result of the scan. I did some research, some functions are needed, such as:
Code:

just a few examples:
load_dialog.....
io.open()......
assert()......
local f = assert(io.open(XXX))
local data = f:read("*a")


So, how to make such a trainer? Thanks.
