I am trying to do a very simple code but i keep getting an error when i run the program.
< this is the error
< this is the code

On line three, print has a captial 'p'. Lua is case sensitive, and it must be a lowercase 'p'.

Its alright, its a common error.

Is there a way after this program runs that it opens up another program automatically?

I beleive it is something along the lines of shellrun("Program") But I am not quite sure. If you use the command help shellapi, it should be in there somewhere.

Sweet thanks I'll have to give it a try

os.run({}, "progamname")

is what I would find sufficient enough

if its on another drive/dir, then

"dir/prog" would work

os.run() is good if you have extra args that you would like to pass to the program. Otherwise it's easier to just use shell.run(). Just make sure that you don't nest a program within itself.

Thanks shell.run() worked for what i'm doing!
