Printer.write - Variables don't work ?

Uberblockminer's Photo Uberblockminer 04 Apr 2014

Hello dudes and programmers


I need some help with my program, i made. It's a Cash Register, so i have to print a paper with price and etc.
But i can't print variables?

printer = peripheral.wrap("right")
printer.newPage()
printer.write("Hello i'm a printer", Variable)
printer.endPage()

When it prints, i only get "Hello i'm a printer" and not the variable...
I'm new at lua, but good at C#. That's why it's easy to learn new programming languages.

Please help :)

Make sure you post questions in the correct section, so that you can get the most exposure.

As far as your question goes however, have you already defined the variable? Additionally, the comma is not how you concatenate variables in Lua. Use a double period, like this:
printer.write("Hello i'm a printer" .. Variable)
