string form?

have files info.txt
, readme.txt
. want use os.execute("dir")
, have files info.txt
, readme.txt
saved string dir
. guess entire string read dell; info.txt, readme.txt
.
no, using io.popen
should work.
io.popen (prog [, mode])
this function system dependent , not available on platforms.
starts program
prog
in separated process , returns file handle can use read data program (ifmode
"r"
, default) or write data program (ifmode
"w"
).
local p = io.popen( "dir", "r" ) local output = p:read "*a" p:close( ) -- , use output
