Re: Windows File Association for lua.exe

Well, if you are doing this print + read routine only on windows, os.execute("pause") may be more windows-y.

For develoment/debugging purposes it might be helpful if the

many people would prefer something that does what it needs to
do and then gets out of the way. For the best of both worlds,
during development you could add this to the end of the script:


  print("Press [Return] to exit")
  io.read()

To improve on this you could do the following:

After setting the command for .lua files association as:

"path\to\lua\lua.exe" -e"CALLED_FROM_WIN_SHELL=true" "%1"

at the end of the script put:

if CALLED_FROM_WIN_SHELL then

   print("Press [Return] to exit")
   io.read()

end
