thank you for all of your help, looking back over this i might as well have posted this in requests.

thanks, this works with numerical values, but the program isn't reading the variables right, if i input ingot it skips straight to "could not understand" do i need to place the variable values somewhere else in the code, or is there some other way i have to do this. but at least i have a working prototype, so thanks! after replacing arg with num in the print section, it now reads "could not understand nil" so, that means that it isn't recognizing that ingot = 144 right?

yay, progress! thanks, i added that to the top but now i get this so as far as i can tell it's either mistaking the "amnt" variable for a string, or I didn't set up my variables right

I'm new to lua, so forgive me if i'm being stupid. I'm trying to write a program that will let me transfer specific amounts of fluid from one tank to another using a transposer. Ideally I would be able to input "ingot" measurements instead of buckets, ex. Ingot = 144mb, nugget = 16mb, etc. but it won't work, I've uploaded what little code i have and the error message it gives back, p.s. I'd also like to have the program repeat until i input something like "end"
