Ups, i tested it with file:read() but i miss typed and somehow wrote file:write()

But what if I want to read the third line? do I need to:

--

file:read("*l")

file:read("*l")

x = file:read("*l")

--

or can i type the number somewhere somehow?

edit: Marked a section where I replaced all "write" with "read" because I'm stupid

Quote

file:write(newIP)

That should write to the first line or to a new line?

IP = file:read(1)?

What is with multiple settings? How should i use the write function then?

Can you give me an example how someone uses such system?

I want to make an application that creates a file named "config.txt" and read/write to it but i am hanging on creating the file. Can't find how to create the file.

My Project: Github_Project_Line85

I want to save the IP that the user writes in and after rebooting it should stay. (Line 85)

I want to make a check system with the config.txt and then load the variable into it.

It's using the GUI API from MineOS

ok nice ^^

I didn't edit the init.lua and im not sure what i need to edit.

Last error: bad argument #1 (number expected, got string)

Number of connected components: 6/12

Component name: computer

I tried it and it didn't work. And yeah i overlooked that ^^

I tried it with items = {} and it didn't worked. And I want to load the itemList.cfg and tried it with os.execute("itemList.cfg") and the same error

edit: The ME_Controller didnt had energy so my working code didnt worked too but now both are doing great

I was building on the AE2Stock code and i wanted the items list separate from the code itself to edit it while its running but however the storedItem[1].size is nil by executing my newer version of AE2Stock. So i need help

The working older version: https://pastebin.com/c1B0L0Pi

The New Version i need help with: https://pastebin.com/Tb4KWszT and the list https://pastebin.com/ZiPbChT2

Maybe you'll need my function drawText(text,SecondGPUProxy): https://pastebin.com/S5uMbMBT

I can't use functions like error() or print() and the most programs don't work on MineOS

I think its working but its not starting directly so i would maybe start it ones before timer starts it "loopDelay" later.

loop()
event.timer(loopDelay, loop, math.huge)

 

I appreciate it and thx for helping me

Im not sure how to do the event stuff. Im half way a noob but i'll try

I installed AE2crafting stock from here and edited it so that its a thread and uses an another screen and i want to use the home of OpenOS while its active to multitask...

for more infos my codes:

Drawtext to another screen > pastebin.com/NnsHQ4cB

AE2 crafting stock > pastebin.com/wTbDU5di

adjustScreen > pastebin.com/LU8eNn1n

Oh thx ^^

Ok, for your code, you want a program that does a gpu set using a string or a number as input? And if it is a string, you want to replace all \n with ""?

Yeah for now i just wanted to go a line down if the string contains "\n" in it.    its cheap ik

if type(str) == "number" then str = tonumber(str)

I am not allowed to use numbers in gpu.set() but i want so i need to convert however the number to a string.tonumber() converts a string with a number like "10" in to a number like 10. The opposite what i need and i thought that string.format() does the opposite.

When i am in the Lua section and want to use the string.format("%g",num) it works like it should but in my code drawtext not...

I want to use gpu.set(x,y,string) but my problem is that i want sometime numbers as strings but i don't know how to convert them properly

info who is wondering whats drawText()            

drawText(print, gpu proxy) is my function that prints something on my second screen with a second graphics card to multi-task

Thx for explaining it because i didn't understood the meaning of tx and ty in the gpu API ^^

The gpu.copy() is a little bit bugged i would say or i use it wrong

local c = require("component")
local gpu2 = c.proxy(c.get("009"))
gpu2.setBackground(0xCC0000) -- setting background to red
local x,y = gpu2.getResolution()
gpu2.fill(1,1,x,y," ")       -- fill the whole screen red
gpu2.setBackground(0x000000) -- setting background to black
gpu2.fill(1,1,x,y/2," ")     -- fill the top half screen black
os.sleep(2)
gpu2.copy(1,y/2,x,y/2,1,1)   -- copy the red half bottom to the half top
print(y/2) -- just to check if i calculate something wrong
os.sleep(2)

And it doesn't work at all as you can see in the picture...

I maybe need some examples and tutorials for this.

I know that "not nil" is wrong but how to test if the input is a nummber and do something when input is a nummber.

read = io.read()
if string.match(read, "(%d+)") == not nil then
-- do something
end

Thanks a lot BrisingrAerowing !

Warning: Maybe its a bad english.

I dont know why this dont work.

I want to test if a specific word is written in to the "line" and it dosnt work.

Quote

line = io.read()

if line == "y" or "Y" then
print("its Yes")
elseif line == "n" or "N" then
print("its No")
end
