Re: Can I get two instances of the same module?

Hi Thijs Schreijer,

Your method works!!

I knew that the module() placed the global variable and this variable was the reason of my problem as you also know.

I was going to remove module(), but your method is simpler!

Thank you very much! This would be 5.1 only problem.

Thank you!

Sincerely

Journeyer

Try this:

local aaa = require "account"
print(aaa)
package.loaded["account"] = nil
local bbb = require "account"
print(bbb)

print(account) --> global was created by module() function

-- try again by also setting global to nil
account = nil
package.loaded["account"] = nil
local ccc = require "account"
print(ccc)
print(account)

the above works for me.
