but i replace $filename with $screenname.emo, or whatever variable the for the screenname is, right?

Assuming you are certain $screenname doesn't contain anything except alpha-numeric characters (for instance, the character '/' could cause some havoc, though don't assume that's the only character to watch out for), then yes. You can replace $filename with something like "$screenname.emo"

DarknessX has a good point, though. If you don't need the count to be persistent across invocations of your bot (and you don't need the file for some other process), you would be better off just storing the count in a hash, as this would save a lot of (unnecessary) file I/O.
