Re: How to use functions from another script?

[steve donovan <steve.j.donovan@...>]

If a script defines some functions like so

-- myfuns.lua

function answer()

  return 42

end

then we can load it into another script:

dofile('myfuns.lua')

print(answer())

or (better) use require:

require('myfuns')

print(answer())

Then (a) it will not constantly reload the file each time it is required and (b) myfuns.lua can be put on your Lua module path
