Re: Using lpeg on codepad?

[Randy Kramer <rhkramer@...>]

Thanks to you (Philippe) and Terry for your responses!

Since my goal is to write a lexer for Scintilla, the approach you 
describe for running Lua code in SciTE sounds good!  (I will have to 
upgrade my SciTE to the latest version (because it supports Lua lexers 
sort of by default, iiuc), but I should be able to manage that (maybe 
after Christmas).

Thanks again!
