| Hi there,
I've been doing basic script in VBS and then due to lack of 'Database' commands I built LUA plugin, which I hoped to work as an include library for basic script.
It didn\t work, so my obvious questions are:
1. Is there any posibility to use plugins in the way of includes. So that I am able to call its script functions from basic script?
2. How can I add .lua files as include to main .lua file, just as it was mentioned for VBS and JS in topic:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=1297
3. Finnaly is it possible to make hybrid script? Which will partly be written in Lua / VBs?
Thanks for feedback | | Top |

| What do you mean by Database commands?
Version 4.40 added support for accessing SQLite databases from all scripting languages, see:
http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/bbshowpost.php?id=9262
If that is not what you wanted, no you cannot mix languages in a single plugin. Each plugin invokes a particular script engine.
To include Lua files (into a Lua script) just use "dofile" or "require", which are built into Lua.

| By 'Database commands' i meant *.sqlite database accessing/maintainig functions such as 'DatabaseOpen', 'DatabasePrepare', 'DataColumnValues', etc, which I thought to be only Lua feature.
If I understood your post properly all of these methods are also supproted by other script languages including VBscript... and that makes me a little bit confused.
I didnt really find any VBs examples or notes.
My only goal is to open SQLite db, read/edit values and have the result in VBscript function.
PS. Im not an expert, so you can find some of my statements incorrect. | | Top |

| Ah, I was just too lazy to do all of the examples documented under the Database* functions in every script language. The syntax in VBscript is pretty similar to Lua (the table handling is a bit different).
For example, here is how you open a database, create a table, and close it, in VBscript:
DatabaseOpen "db", GetInfo (66) & "mytestdb.sqlite", 6 ' open database
'
' create table
'
DatabaseExec "db", _
"DROP TABLE IF EXISTS weapons;" & _
"CREATE TABLE weapons( " & _
" weapon_id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY autoincrement," & _
" name TEXT NOT NULL," & _
" damage INT default 10," & _
" weight REAL" & _
" );"
DatabaseClose "db" ' close it
