saveTable doesn't work with loadTable

Hi,I have been trying to add a new row to a loaded table(new.csv) and save. However, the saved(replaced) .csv file does not show proper data but this strange symbols as below. �w^~)�.

//this is what new.csv looks like.
//id, species
//1, a
//2, b
//3, c
//4, d
//5, e <----- this row is what I want to add

and here is my code:

var table;
function preload() { 
  table = loadTable("new.csv", "csv", "header");
}
function setup() {
  var newRow = table.addRow();
  newRow.setString("id", 5);
  newRow.setString("species", "e");
  for (var r = 0; r < table.getRowCount(); r++) {
    for (var c = 0; c < table.getColumnCount(); c++) {
      println(table.getString(r, c));
    }
  }
  saveTable(table, 'new.csv');
}

The row is properly added when I println(table.getString(r, c)); but not in replaced new.csv file. I tried to save it with different file name as new1.csv but still doesn't work. Could you fix this problem for me? Thank you.

I just found out that it is a problem of p5editor. It works well on Chrome. But is there any other way to fix this in P5editor?

• p5Editor is almost always far behind latest p5.js version.
• If you're on Mac, you may try to replace the bundled p5.js for latest version.
• On Windows, we only see ".exe", ".dll" files mostly.
• I daresay it's a "frankestein" hack of the Mac version. It's totally unconfigurable! ~X(
• Regardless, my advise is to use its online version instead: http://p5IDE.HerokuApp.com/editor
