RE: NEWBIE Question: LUA wait() function?

["Rolf" <rb@...>]

Yes, typo in my E-mail. I used function test().

Running the script below, I got the error:
Test.vbs: no such file or directory.

I was actually wondering about this. Is the file supposed to be written to
the hard drive somewhere?

You are aware that Lua is case-sensitive?

( should be function, not Function )

Maybe try this:

function test()
 local err
 local vb="test.vbs"
 local f,err=io.open(vb)
 if err then
  msgbox(err)
  return
 end
 f:write("WScript.Sleep(1000)\n")
 err=f:close()
 if err then
  msgbox(err)
  return
 end
 for i=1,10 do
   msgbox("Execute=".. (os.execute(vb) or "unknown"))
 end
end
