Code: Select all

local readfile = io.open("filename.txt", "r");
if( not readfile ) then
  error("Something is wrong.", 0);
end

local num, str, line;
num = readfile:read("*n 24 *l");
-- *n means "read a number", 24 means "read a string up to 24 characters long", and *l means "read a whole line as a string"

Oh yeah, didn't know it was a lua function

Where can I look up how to use this function in general?
What you put there still leaves me with several questions, but I won't bother you with them all, considering that they are probably all answered in a manual somewhere.

There's a documentation about the functions down there too.

You can also try this: http://luaforge.net/projects/lualangpack/ (I'm not sure if there's a newer version).
It basically integrates LUA into VS2005, including IntelliSense support.

Wow I seemed to have missed all of the obvious manuals and links.

I need to stop the insomnia surfing.


Integrating lua into VS sounds very useful, thanks for the link.
