Re: [PD] pdlua output

also, the code works in lua but not in the pdlua object somewhere i am getting mixed up between floats lists strings atoms tables etc. but i cant see where

here is the working lua code

tbl = {} table.insert(tbl, '1, s22df, 1, score = 3') table.insert(tbl, '1, s22df, 1, score = 2') table.insert(tbl, '1, s22df, 1, score = 1') for i, v in ipairs(tbl) do if string.match(v, "score = 1", 1, true)

then print(v) end end 1, s22df, 1, score = 1

thanks

i'll clarify a bit... i add a list to a table with:

-- "insert [list]" into 1st inlet: function M:in_1_insert(list) table.insert(self.mydata, list) end

then i search the table for the pattern "score = 1" and ask it to print the lines containing the matched pattern

-- what to do on "scores" into 1st inlet: function M:in_1_scores() for i, v in ipairs(self.mydata) do if string.match(v, "score = 1", 1, true) then self:outlet(1, "list", v) end end end

the problem is that the string.match is expecting a string and getting a table and i'm not sure how to fix this - i thought the ipairs was iterating the table into a string but its not.

here is the error from pd: [string "rob2"]:19: bad argument #1 to 'match' (string expected, got table)

lua and lua files attached

any guidance welcome,

thanks
