Lua quine

[Noé Falzon <noe.falzon@...>]

Hi !

I was searching the internet about quines (self printing programs), and 
I couldn't find many examples of Lua quines. In fact, they didn't even 
work since they seemed to be written for older versions of Lua.

---------
y = [[ print("y = [[" .. y .. "]]\ndostring(y)") ]]
dostring(y)
---------

---------
s=[[s=[[x]]s=string.gsub(s,"x",s,1)print(s)]]s=string.gsub(s,"x",s,1)print(s)
---------

The problem being the nested [[ ]].

I tried to write one myself, and came up with :

---------
s=[[io.write('s=[','[',s,']','];',s)]];io.write('s=[','[',s,']','];',s)
---------

Has anyone written his own yet ?
Cheers,
Noé
