Yea, i entered and exited the lua prompt just to make sure. Rebooted my (virtual) computer too, still not working. No programs in the autorun folder. strangley, when i AM in a directory, 'dir' works exactly as i expect it to.

I don't know the full path though, that is why i was using 'dir'

When i type in 'dir' in to the shell of my advanced computer, it gives me an error. I am certain 'dir' used to show all the directories stored in the computer. What should i do to see and access the directories?

Ya I know the goal of the forum, but I've been working on this topic for 3 weeks and want to just get it done and over with.
Also, i don't think that's against the rules of the card, nor do i care about the rules of the card.

I want a program that has the following syntax:
Enderchest add <string>
Enderchest add <string> <info>
Enderchest list
Enderchest search <string>
Enderchest delete <string>
Enderchest help

Background: I use a lot of Ender chests from the Ender Storage mod. Keeping track of these by memory is very hard, so i want a CC program to keep track of it.

Enderchest add <string> will add <string> to a document of strings such that they will be able to be accessible by Enderchest list, Enderchest search, and Enderchest delete. If the command is successful, the terminal will print(<string> .. " has been successfully added.") . If <string> was already on the list, the program will not add <string> to the list and the terminal will print(<string> .. "was already on the list.") . Enderchest add <string> <info>** will do the same thing as Enderchest add <string> , but will allow you to add info that will show up when the user uses Enderchest search <string> . Enderchest list will list all of the strings stored with Enderchest add. If there are too many strings to display on the screen (be it pocket computer or standard computer), the bottom center of the screen will read: "Hit [W] and [S] to scroll up and down the list, and hit [SPACE] to exit scroll mode.", and the user will be able to scroll as described (if you have/want to change it from [W] and [S] and [SPACE] to [UP] and [DOWN] and [ENTER], that works too). Enderchest search <string> will print out <string>, and if <string> was added via Enderchest add <string> <info> , <info> will be printed after <string>, separated by a space. *if <string> is added using Enderchest add <string> , the user must use Enderchest delete <string> then Enderchest add <string> <info> to give <string> info.* if <string> was never added, the terminal will print("<string> .. " is not on the list."). Enderchest delete <string> will delete <string> from the document of strings. If <string> is was not on the list, the terminal will print(<string> .. " is not on the list."). If it was, the terminal will print(<string> .. " has been deleted.") Enderchest help will print the syntax of the program.

What's that? You have no reason to do this?
Wrong. The first person to pm me the program gets the code for a $15 iTunes gift card.

What? You don't believe i have the card?
Wrong again. http://imgur.com/Pn4JDL5,RjpWM4C#0 http://imgur.com/Pn4JDL5,RjpWM4C#1 . The green is to prevent you from cashing in the gift card without me telling you the code.

Huh? You think I've already used up the card? You think I won't give you the code anyway?
Well, I can't prove you wrong until you pm me your program. Though, I do guarantee you i will give you the code.

Ask me any questions in the discussion section below.

oh, i guess you're right, i thought i had typed it out already.

Here's the deal: I'm getting bored of this project. I have the code for a 15 dollar itunes gift card. First person to make the program (with the added scrolling feature *it must work on both pocket computers and regular ones*) as i describe gets the code. (make sure to pm your program to me, i will pm the code back.)

What's that you say? You don't believe i have the gift card? http://imgur.com/Pn4JDL5,RjpWM4C#0 and http://imgur.com/Pn4JDL5,RjpWM4C#1 . the green is to prevent you from seeing the information to cash it in without me wanting you to.

Huh? You think i've already used up the balance of the card?
Well, you might be right. I haven't, but i can't prove to you i haven't.

What? You think i won't give you the code?
You might be right again. I can't sign an internet contract because those don't exist, but i will give you the code.

Your move, internet.

oh, i didn't know opening a file in write mode deletes the contents of the file, that clears thing up. Thanks!

Thanks!

is there a way to read and write private messages within the forum?

KingofGamesYami, on 11 April 2015 - 03:53 PM, said:

line 5 and 6:
--#if it's not the line to delete
--#write it down
if i understand you correctly, that's saying that if <string> does not match k, then the program will write in k (k is the current string the program is comparing against, right?). if it does, the program will print(<string> .. "was never on the list.") , which means that the <string> in the document will never be deleted. Am i understanding your code correctly?

You're not understanding what I want to do with the delete feature.
When i type 'Enderchest delete <string>' I want the program to run through the strings in the document to see if <string> matches any of the stored strings. If it does, delete the string in the list, and print(<string> .. "has been deleted.) . else, print(<string> .. "was never on the list.")

You are honestly amazing bro, I am speechless. Thank you so much for the help!

So far you've pretty much written my code for me, which I'm not opposed to if you're not, so if you'd make the program for me that'd be AMAZING, but i totally understand if not.
If not, do you know how i'd be able to add the delete feature?

also, problem: if there are too many strings, the program will not display all of the strings. I wanted to have the user be able to use the up and down arrows to scroll up and down the list, then enter or space or some other special key to exit scroll mode, with text at the bottom of the screen constantly displaying "Hit [UP] and [DOWN] to scroll up and down the list, and hit space/enter to exit scroll mode." until the user exits scroll mode. I have no idea how i'd even begin to write that, can you help me out?

Wow dude, thanks for the help!

Do you know how i'd add in the list feature? I don't really understand you're code so i can't edit it...

My end goal is to have a program that will have this syntax: Enderchest add <string>/Enderchest search <string>/Enderchest list/Enderchest delete <string> . Enderchest add <string> will add a string to a document of strings (for storage after the program ends). Enderchest search <string> will take <string> and compare it to the strings in the document. If the program finds that <string> and one of the strings in the document match, it will print(<string>.." is in use."). else, it will print(<string>.." is available."). Enderchest list will list out all of the strings in the document (if there are too many to display, it will allow you to hit up and down to go up and down the list). Enderchest delete <string> will delete <string> from the document. if <string> was never in the document, it will print(<string>.." was not on the list."). else, it will print(<string>.."has been deleted.")

right now, i'm coding a prototype, and im trying to make the stage where i make list of strings. to do this, i am using .writeLine(). the problem with .writeLine() is that when it is used like so: 'document.writeLine(array[1])', whatever is stored in the first spot of array will become the first line of document. In effect, that means document.writeLine(array[2]) makes the second line of document whatever is stored in the first spot of array. that means this means that i can't use .writeLine(array[1]) everytime, because then the previous <string>'s get lost.

to counteract that, i tried to count the number of times the user adds strings (hence the i = i + 1), so that the line <string> gets written to doesn't overwrite previous strings. but, once all is said and done, the program ends, and i gets reset to one.

That is currently what i'm trying to solve.

Thanks for commenting my horrendous code by the way! it cleared up the purpose to myself

Tried to make the string store on top of eachother, but the i variable is lost at the end of the program, rendering it useless. Help?

how do i open the file in append mode? do i use an "a" instead of a "w" or a "r"?

Uh... What is this ninja'd thing? Also thanks

Is there an api or function to get the type of variable a variable is?

Getting an error on line 10, don't know why. help? fixed the error, put 3 dots instead of 2 to combine strings.

not at all... when i apply this to program, i'm going to have this syntax: "Enderchest add <string>", and i want all strings added using that command to be stored, but using the method i currently am, if i type "Enderchest add yolo" then "Enderchest add gg" yolo will not be stored, but i want it to be.

Another question: using writeLine(), myDocument gets written to the first line of myDocument.txt, but i want myDocument to be added to myDocument.txt. how would i do this?
