Hello
I'm very new to LUA (about a week) and there is something I can not find out how to do.
I have succeeded to embed LUA in an application of mine and it all works fine.
After some searching, I have also succeeded in installing a custom error handler function, but I do not succeed in finding out how to obtain the line number of the error for which the function gets called.
What I have is an application with an editor window in which the user types his script and then this script is run using lua_dostring. When a syntax error or a runtime error is detected, I want to highlight the offending line in the editor. But, as the only parameter to this error handling function seems to be the error message string, I wonder how to obtain the line number.
I could parse the message to get this information, but I don't think this is a clean aproach.
Any hints are welcome,
