Hi,
Could you please tell me if it possible to use accented variable names in Lua ? I'm using a the IDE named SciTE (adapted to french) to do some Lua code and i can use french accented character inside a string, but i always have an error when i try to use and accented variable name like "caché" :
-- don't work:
table ={caché="test"}
-- don't work:
table.caché = "test"
-- work (but not very handy):
table["caché"]="test"
the error message (given by lua.exe 1.5.1) is : '=' expected near 'é'
I precise that I have no problem to deal with accented string that are well recognized :
-- this work
table.cache="my string has accented character like the french é or à"
so my ide recognized french accented characters without problem since it is declared in a string (with quote). The problem is only when i want to named a variable with an accent, but i don't know if the problem comes from my IDE or from Lua.
So can Lua use variable name with accented characters ?
Thank you
