I created a bot command where people, user inputs are saved to a text file. (on my local comp) It works for a while then “randomly” breaks with the error message Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘content’ of undefined

module.exports = {
    name: 'sea',
    description: 'Takes User Input and saves it as Text file letters.txt',
    execute(message, args) {
      let application = {}
      let filter = (message) => !message.author.bot;
      let options = {
        max: 1,
        time: 15000
      };
      message.member.send("Write something")
      .then(dm => {
        // After each question, we'll setup a collector on the DM channel
        return dm.channel.awaitMessages(filter, options)
      })
      .then(collected => {
        // Convert the collection to an array & get the content from the first element
        application = collected.array()[0].content;
        let appString = application.toString();
        var fs = require('fs')
        fs.appendFile("./see/letters.txt", appString + "\n", function (err){
          if (err) {

          } else {

          }
        })
        // Ask the next question
        console.log(application)
        return message.member.send("Got it, It was recieved")
        
      })
    }
  } 
Console.log: 
!sea
Command name: sea 
Arguments:
Write something
(2) hel
Got it, It was received
!sea
Command name: sea
Arguments:
Write something
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'content' of undefined

Can you type your code with :
``` js
// code here
```

?

“content” isn’t a property of this array.

module.exports = {
    name: 'sea',
    description: 'Takes User Input and saves it as Text file letters.txt',
    execute(message, args) {
      let application = {}
      let filter = (message) => !message.author.bot;
      let options = {
        max: 1,
        time: 15000
      };
      message.member.send("Write something")
      .then(dm => {
        // After each question, we'll setup a collector on the DM channel
        return dm.channel.awaitMessages(filter, options)
      })
      .then(collected => {
        // Convert the collection to an array & get the content from the first element
        application = collected.array()[0].content;
        let appString = application.toString();
        var fs = require('fs')
        fs.appendFile("./see/letters.txt", appString + "\n", function (err){
          if (err) {

          } else {

          }
        })
        // Ask the next question
        console.log(application)
        return message.member.send("Got it, It was recieved")
        
      })
    }

      let filter = (message) => !message.author.bot;
      let options = {

      message.member.send("Write something")
      .then(dm => {
        // After each question, we'll setup a collector on the DM channel
        return dm.channel.awaitMessages(filter, options)
      })
      .then(collected => {
        // Convert the collection to an array & get the content from the first element
        application = collected.array()[0];
        let fileSearch = Math.floor(Math.random() * 11) + 1
        let appString = application(string);
        var fs = require('fs')
        fs.appendFile(`./see/letters(${fileSearch}).txt`, appString + "\n", function (err){
          if (err) {

          } else {

          }
        })

message.author.send if you want send it via DM.
message.channel.send if you want send it at current channel.
