Title: What is wrong with this?

I have this bit of code:
Print("which direction?")
Local direction = read()
Print("how many times?")
Local times = read()

Term.write("moving"..direction ..times "times")

And it just says:
Move:6: attempt to call string

You're missing the two dots in line 6 between times and "times"

Term.write("moving"..direction ..times.."times")
Also lua is case-sensitive print,local and term start should not start with capital letters.

I think he re-typed it.

Yeah, cause it would have been an attempt to call nil error on the first line otherwise. So, a reminder, post your exact code inside of a code box (by typing [CODE][/CODE] around it or by hitting that little button that looks like a blue <> above the post input), so that we can actually distinguish the error from your various typos and such.

Longer programs should be on pastebin.
