I'm sure there is a way, but I can't find it. I need my program to test to see if there is at least one sub directory folder in another folder. The name or whatever doesn't matter
("UO_Users/") --Test for any subdir in this folder.
I've tried fs.list, but the table it produces never seems to work like it should
Any help appreciated

#258618 Load a files code and run it in a different program

I have taken into account the api system and have even employed it once in the code. However I still was not able to call functions properly and it came up with an error that said the function I was asking for was a nil. I've looked over both scripts and they are both pretty close to devoid of bugs, as I debug as I go. I really don't know what I'm doing wrong. It might be a bug in my code, which I could sort out, but I need to make sure that what I do, can atleast call functions from the other script.
P.S Thanks for the help so far.

I have tried loadfile, and the other script runs like it should. Sort of. The two scripts however don't communicate with each other, and I cannot call functions that are stored in the other file correctly. Any ideas?

I took a look at the PIL, and had some trouble with it. But what I have gathered is that I might need to use loadfile to get the code over to file1? correct me if i'm wrong

This has stumped me for a long time now. I have two files:
file1:"unet"
file2:"unetclientdata/libraries/rnetconfigx12"
I need the unet program to load the entire file, rnetconfigx12, and run it as if the code for file2 was part of file1.
Sorry if this is too much, but I also need them to be compatible with each other. As in file 2 can call functions from file 1 and vise versa.
Any help is appreciated!

hold on a sec. I think i found something
WOW! I've got to stop posting on the forums to early. I needed to put this:
local list = { [2] = "value1", [6] = "value2"}
local foundvalue = false
local uservalue = io.read()
foundvalue = false
for key,value in pairs(list) do
if value == uservalue then
foundvalue = true
else
--nothing is supposed to go here
end
end
if foundvalue == false then
--blah,blah,blah
it needed to set foundvalue back to false so that if it could run again. Sorry for the trouble.
Also by using [code] tags, does that put it into code form?

I have a for loop designed to test if the user's input, matches an entry in a table. The for loop I used is shown here:
local list = { [2] = "value1", [6] = "value2"}
local foundvalue = false
local uservalue = io.read()
for key,value in pairs(list) do
if value == uservalue then
foundvalue = true
else
--nothing is supposed to go here
end
end
if foundvalue == false then--executes code at the end of the for loop if it has not found the value
--blah,blah,blah
the for loop works great, but only once. The next time I try to activate it from a function, it doesn't seem to want to run.
Any ideas?

I ended up figuring out what I needed to do. I just needed to put the code I wanted to execute after the for loop's "end". Making that code execute, once the for loop is complete. I should have figured this out on my own. I guess it is late, and my brain is shutting down.

Basically, I want a line of code to be executed once a for loop has finally ended. My for loop is designed to search a table and satisfy an if statement:
local list={ [1] = "string1", [2] = "string2"}
local string
for key,value in pairs(list) do
if string == value then
--blah,blah,blah
end
end
--part that is supposed to execute code once the for loop is completed
local list={ [1] = "string1", [2] = "string2"}
local string
for key,value in pairs(list) do
if string == value then
--blah,blah,blah
end

I've been working with tables, and have created a for loop what looks like this:
for key,value in pairs do
blah, blah, blah.
Is there a way to find the key value that equals the actual value?
kind of like this but in reverse:
local list={ [1] = "hello"}
local value=list[1]
for key,value in pairs do
blah, blah, blah.

So I have a program that needs to take a string received through rednet, and determine what the last few letters are.
I have set up a string.sub to handle this that looks like this:
id, message = rednet.receive()
messagesub = string.sub(message, pos1, pos2)
I've tried:
local messagelength = #message - 4 --subtract for from the total length
message = string.sub(message, messagelength)
However, its keeps giving me an error, "attempt to get length of nil"
what I was wondering is if there is a way to get the last 4 letters of the string. Any help is appreciated!

I'm currently working on a program called UNET, which is a very complex internet service. When it comes to the servers, I want to make it so that the web designer, can create his/her website using a lua interpreter. This will ease the pain of using lua to create things like the gui, by simply converting the users simplified code to it's lua equivalent. Problem is, I have no idea how to go about doing this. Anyone have any ideas?
