File Functions

[mallchin]

I see LuaPlayer has updated to 0.19, but does anyone have an updated list of functions?

I can't see any mention of the requests I've made, anyone managed to move/rename files?

I've added a System.rename function for Lua Player 0.20.

Great news, thanks Shine.

I know your pushed for time developing LuaPlayer but many of us appreciate it :)

Also, if you get a chance, a move function would be neat too (if supported).

I'm mimicking moving files by copying source files then deleting them, but it doesn't work well for large files and limited space.

I guess you've already tested moving by renaming?

[mallchin]

I like your thinking ;)

ya but you totally jacked up the way i write table functions and now none of my lua apps work, good job!

Just change the table sh*t back and everyone would be happier.
I had to go back to 0.19

What problems are you having?

[be2003]

the 0.19 lowser wont work and "for i=1,string.len(somethin) do" doesnt work and its annoying

You are right, 0.19 lowser doesn't work, but I've fixed it. Lowser in Lua Player 0.20 works. The only changes needed were the pairs/ipairs changes, like described in the release notes.

And I can't reproduce your problem with "for i=1,string.len(somethin) do". The following code works with Lua Player 0.19 and Lua Player 0.20:

Code: Select all

something = "test"
for i=1,string.len(something) do
	c = string.sub(something, i, i)
	-- do something with c
end

But if you have some code which doesn't work, please post it and I'll try to fix it.

nvm, it was "for index,value in table do". it took a while to change them to ipairs and pairs, i really needed the jpeg support! so why did you want to make it lua 5.1, wasnt that a hassle?

So how long do you need to replace "in table" with "in ipairs(table)", when searching all for loops with a good editor? :-)

Lua 5.1 provides some advantages: incremental GC, which may be useful for action games to prevent long GC pauses, new string and other functions and better module support for Mac OS X, which may be useful later when porting it to Mac OS X.

this may seem crazy, but listen to this. i dont have a computer in this state(ca). i use tipster's unzip, links2, psp-pda, and file assistant all on my psp to do everything. i make all my lua apps on my psp.

I actually think 5.1 has increased luaplayers speed substancially, I also have noticed that parsing files (reading) takes absolutly no time to do. Its fantastic! However saving it dead weight.
