Re: calling lua scripts from lua scripts

["Thomas Wrensch" <twrensch@...>]

Sorry, error in the code example. Correct code is:

    local code = "x = 10"
    local f = loadstring(code)
    -- at this point the code hasn't executed, to do
    -- that, execute f as a function.
    f()
    print(x)

There are several ways of executing a bit of Lua code inside of Lua. If
the code is in a file, you can use the  "dofile" function as described
by lhf.

If you have the script as a lua string, then you can execute it using
loadstring. Something like this: (Note: Lua 5.0 code)

    local code = "x = 10"
    local f = loadstring(x)
    -- at this point the code hasn't executed, to do
    -- that, execute f as a function.
    f()
    print(x)

This should print out the value of x as 10.

Hope this helps.

What i need (now) is the first case. I need to run a couple of lines 
containing some asignments.
