Just a quick little question.
Basically I want the turtle to drop something out of a specific slot based on what I enter after the command... Like "Drop 3" and it drops the item in Slot 3, "Drop 2" and it drops the item in Slot 2.
Can anyone tell me how to do that?
thanks and have a nice day.

I assume you know of the turtle.drop() command?
I see what your problem is, you could change the syntax to: "drop:3" then get the section before the colon (drop) and after(3). If the section before is drop then try to convert the post part (3) into a number, if it works drop the item

input = string.lower( read() ) if string.find( input, ":" ) then local pre = string.sub( input, 1, string.find( input, ":" )-1 ) local post = string.sub( input, input:find( ":" )+1, input:len() ) if pre == "drop" and post then -- Wants to drop local temp = tonumber( post ) if temp then turtle.drop( temp ) else print("Invalid drop argument. drop:<slot>") end else print("Unknown command") end end

If your PROGRAM is named 'drop', then when you run it, then number would be argument.
You will want to read up on tables a bit to use this method:
http://www.lua.org/pil/2.5.html
--# In the program 'Drop' local args = {...} --# Gets the arguments that the user passed when the program was run turtle.select( tonumber( args[1] ) ) --# Selects the slot, denoted by the first argument turtle.drop( 64 ) --# Drops the entire stack. You could also have the user specify how many to drop as a second argument
