I'm working in lua, and i need to match 2 parts of a line that's taken in through file IO. I'm inexperienced with regexes and i'm told lua doesn't have full regex support built in (but i have a library that provides that if need be). Can someone help me with building regexes to match the parts necessary? "bor_adaptor_00.odf" 3.778 ...

When making Lua bindings for C++ classes, should I return tables or userdata objects? Does anyone know any of the pros and cons for each method? ...
I'm trying to load tables from Lua to C++ but I'm having trouble getting it right. I'm getting through the first iteration just fine but then at the second call to lua_next it crashes. Any ideas? Lua file: level = { 1, 2, 3, } C++ file - First I did this: lua_getglobal( L, "level" ); for( lua_pushnil( L ); lua_next( L, 1 ); lua_...
I am using Luabind to expose a base class from C++ to Lua from which I can derive classes in Lua. This part works correctly and I am able to call C++ methods from my derived class in Lua. Now what I want to do is obtain a pointer to the Lua-based instance in my C++ program. C++ -> Binding class Enemy { private: std::string name; pu...
I have been looking for tutorials demonstrating how to share a C++ object with Lua using the API. Most tutorials just show how to export a class. I would like to start very simple and expose a variable (say int myVar = 5) in such a way that a change in Lua will be reflected in the C++ application. Does anyone know any good tutorials ar...
Hi, I am using Luainterface 2.0.3 to embed Lua in a c# application. Everything is working fine, except in visual Studio's debug mode, the Lua's print function does not get written to the console (nor to Output). using System; using LuaInterface; namespace Lua1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { ...
Hi, I'm looking into adding scripting to my C# application. I've been debating between Lua and C# (through CSharpCodeProvider). Regardless of which language I use, I need the script to be able to access/manipulate objects/arrays in my main application. With C# I should be able to expose my objects and interface functions without too ...
I do a lot of work in Lua and work primarily in Eclipse Galileo. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be a working plugin for syntax highlighting. I've tried pretty much all available versions of LuaEclipse and LunarEclipse (including beta previews) but has gotten me nowhere. In both cases I get errors while installing them, referrin...
Can anyone tell me where to find Lua's bytecode specification? I've been searching for 15 minutes, and I can't find anything. ...
SWIG graciously provides the swig_type() function to get a string representation of the data type of a passed userdata object. However, in the case of member fields, SWIG and Lua consider those to be simple "number" items and so prints only "number" instead of the data type's name. e.g. typedef num_years int; class Person { public...
I seem to be getting an error in the below code when I attempt to cast to a template of class T, when T is of type float. I have realized already that a type of int functions correctly, because the following is valid syntax: char* str = "3"; int num = (int)str; The same is not true of float. I'm wondering if there is a way to stop th...
I have a lua script which is run using the command line interpreter, the script needs to load a table from a file. The table is stored like this: create_object_action = { reflexive = true, which_base_type = 29, how_many_min = 1, how_many_range = 0, velocity_relative = false, direction_relative = true, random_...

I have successfully compiled lua in my mac. It works. It runs. Now, I want to mix it with C++ in XCode. So I looked up in the Linked Library, the usual place to add more libraries in XCode. But of course, lua isn't there. Now, how do I tell XCode the existence of lua so that the program can include lua.h correctly? ...
