How do I use a variable as a pastebin code?

[PcStack 2]

I need help with using variables as codes for pastebin as I am making a browser program, what I am asking is how do I use a variable in the os.execute pastebin thing? please help I just switched over from CC

You should use local variables to avoid future headache.

local component = require("component")
local modem = component.modem
local event = require("event")

print("Connent to which IP?")
local port = tonumber(io.read("*n")) -- # convert the string representation of a number to an actual number value
modem.open(port) -- # modem.open opens ports not IPs
modem.broadcast(port, "packets")
local message = select(5, event.pull("modem_message")) -- # get all event data after the 5th element/return value

os.execute("pastebin run " .. message)

`os.execute` uses a string to run a program much like the shell does.

local paste_code = "ae64fgy"
local paste_opt = "f"
local command = table.concat({"pastebin get", paste_opt, paste_code}, " ")
os.execute(command)
