File extensions?

[Memelord420 1]

So as of writing this, I only know of one file extension that actually means something in OC, which would be .lua

But I'd like to make more file extensions, would there be a way to do this? My end goal is to make it so that if you try to edit something with a certain file extension it won't let you, and maybe also be able to run it without typing the extension, like you can with lua files.

Could anyone point me in the right direction?

lua is the only file extension (afaik) known to OpenOS, not OC. If you write your own shell for OpenOS (or your own operating system), you can define for those how to interprete certain file extensions.

LiEwYe is correct on this one, you would have to modify, or create, a new shell for OpenOS. If you were trying to prevent modification, that would have to be done by editing the "edit" function in /bin. As far as colour for file extensions goes, I believe that is define in /home/.shrc.

.shrc just runs whatever commands when sh.lua is started (in most cases, at boot)

(shell run command)

File color, when you do ls, is defined in /bin/ls.lua (which is what is ran when you do ls)

as far as i know, file extentions just straight up don't matter. Even if you have none, you can still run the file as a lua file.

Running "hello" will check for a file named  "hello", and if it isn't there, it then checks for one called "hello.lua". I think you can change this in /lib/shell.lua (or /lib/core/full_shell.lua, can't remember exactly), it would be in the shell.execute function
