Hello. I need to read yaml file, change some of it's values and save it in the same path. I don't understand how to get yaml, because all examples in wiki are generated or contain variable <path>. What is <path>? How to define yaml and edit it in denizen?

yaml [create]/[load:<file>]/[loadtext:<text> raw_format]/[unload]/[savefile:<file>]/[copykey:<source_key> <target_key> (to_id:<name>)]/[set <key>([<#>])(:<action>):<value> (data_type:{string}/integer/double/boolean/auto)] [id:<name>]

Description

Edits YAML configuration data.

This commands exists primarily for interoperability with pre-existing data files and other plugins.
It should never be used for storing data that only Denizen needs to use. Consider instead using !command flag.

Use waitable syntax ("- ~yaml load:...") with load or savefile actions to avoid locking up the server during file IO.
Refer to !language ~waitable.

For loading and saving, the starting path is within 'plugins/Denizen'.
The file path follows ...

^ starting from the denizen folder

#

so if you want to read from /plugins/denizen/data/my_file.yml, you'd use data/my_file.yml as input
