Re: LUA_ERRSYNTAX with luaL_dofile

[cynthia powers <powcyn@...>]

yes. Thanks! it does appear that my myfile.lua has a syntax error, because when I replaced that file with another simpler lua file, it seems to go through.

Is there a way to (auto) check on the syntax of a lua file? the lua file I have is "generated" ..
