and cobbled together this LUA Shell stack as a distraction
http://www.igame3d.com/rev/LUASHELL.zip
There's a Mac OS X application and instructions for installing LUA in the read me.
Windows and other *Nix devs will have to find there own way using the stack and lua "install" file.
It works, from what I've tested, I can run LUA in rev, and I did a similar trick with
ChipmunkBasic http://www.nicholson.com/rhn/basic
the other day through shell() (reason I was asking about man page formatting)
I can't help but think there is a better way to send commands to a program
running in unix other than : shell(<the program name> & cr & <a field full of commands>)
It seems to me that simply using shell() doesn't open the process permanently
like sending the command to terminal.
Maybe somewhere in the other language/ environment/ whatisit I should have some statements to read and write data back and forth to and from the rev application/standalone via sockets?
Using open process and read from process doesn't get me any results other than errors when using examples directly from the documentation
Using the other languages directly through shell is the only way I can think
of using their scripts/code/what have you without begging the developers to write externals,
and/or writng extensive "if line X of language Y says Z then do something" scripts.
Any thoughts?
