#41231 os.pullEvent with multiple loops

If you want to be indignant and play "It's too HARD!!", be my guest. If you take a minute or two and look at the code, and think a bit yourself, you might learn something.
Call os.startTimer with the time in seconds until the timer fires, and save the return value.
Use pullEvent to check for a "timer" event with its first argument equal to the return value you saved.
Any complication with this is purely in your head, I assure you.

They're not really that difficult either.
myTimer = os.startTimer(5) -- timer will fire in 5 seconds
event, arg1, arg2, arg3 = os.pullEvent()
if event == "timer" and arg1 == myTimer then
print("My Timer fired!")
end

#40363 Is there any way to get rid of the "too long without yielding" error?

It's a timeout error, not a recursion limit. Literally, it's been too long since you've given another process the chance to run. Your program is not playing nice in a co-operative multitasking environment, so it's been sent to sit in the corner.
The solution is as Lyqyd said. Throw in some sleep(0) to let it yield.

I think I may have found a solution to the problem about boot disks!
When someone's presses Ctrl, have the computer reboot; but before rebooting have it delete disk/startup, or even multiple disk startups; and THEN reboot the computer, meaning that if they put a disk in then press control, their disk would no longer have a startup to exit the normal program!
Tell me how well this works for you!

Like this:
repeat
event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
os.sleep(0.1)
until key == (# for LCTRL) or key == (# for RCTRL) or key == (# for ENTER)
If key == (# for LCTRL) or key == (# for RCTRL) then
if fs.exists("disk/startup") then
fs.delete("disk/startup")
os.reboot()
else
os.reboot()
end
elseif key == (# for ENTER) then
-- password script
end
Sorry I don't have the numbers for the IDs of the keys but I am unsure of them and am too lazy to look for them at the moment :3. Hope that I helpedAll you'd have to do is shut the computer down, then switch disks.

That's caused by a stack overflow, because you're calling your function from itself repeatedly (infinite recursion). Use a loop instead.

Repeat the process multiple times (in a for loop) and concatenate your result to the previous.
local alphabet = { (a table of characters here) }
local str = ""
for i = 1, 6 do
str = str .. alphabet[math.random(1,#alphabet)]
end

Each time you detect a up/down keypress, increment or decement a variable that indicates which menu item you've selected.
As for receiving and detecting other events at the same time:

They probably do show up, but then it jumps back to the start of the while loop and clears the screen. You probably want to sleep for a second or two, or os.pullEvent("key") to pause for key input.

I would imagine you're getting a "too long without yielding" error.
edit: ninja!
input = "top" output = "left" rs.setOutput(output, true) while true do if os.pullEvent() == "redstone" then -- <<THIS if rs.getInput(input) then rs.setOutput(output, false) sleep(8) rs.setOutput(output, true) end end end

All true, and details I basically glossed over to simplify things. I wanted to present an idea of what the stack was conceptually without delving too much into technicalities. I probably should have expanded on the different forms of recursion though.
The major take home point being, if you aren't careful to clean up after yourself, your program will crash eventually.
