My concern is that I want to limit accessibility to too many LUA commands, I want to limit the commands that he can use.If I understand what you're trying to do, it can be done easily in stock Lua. First use loadstring() to turn the user's code into a function (this is where you catch any syntax errors). Then use setfenv() to keep the function from accessing any dangerous globals. This second step is explained in section 14.3 of Programming in Lua: <http://www.lua.org/pil/14.3.html>
Ok, that was very usefull information and I will probably use both. But what I intended is something more restrictive. I want a syntax checker that forbids access to many lua functions, just saying ok/notok. I am thinking of a lexical analysis with only minimal lua syntax or something like that...
The problem is that LUA is a powerfull language, and I don't want users with all that power because I am the one who will have to give support to the program. That means that if the user puts some statement in his script he can do more that was intended fot him to do.
Forgive-me if it is difficult to make myself clear, but some concepts here are not very familiar to me.
