[string "local"]:1: field 'day' missing in date table

The os.time doc says that "This table must have fields year, month,
and day, and may have fields hour, min, sec, and isdst (for a
description of these fields, see the os.date function)."

Any idea how I can get this to work?
TIA,
Phil

Specific questions should be asked on the Lua mailing list (http://www.lua.org/lua-l.html). Lua for Windows is just a distribution of Lua, so you wont get your questions answered as well/fast.

Phil, here is quick answer...

z=os.time({year=2011,month=9,day=10,hour=3,min=20,sec=16})

print(z)

note : year,month,day,hour,min,sec are all indexes in table.

There is a fair bit about lua programming out there on the web so google it first but Ryan is correct, best place for answers is lua mailing list.

Cheers

OK, I get it. First exposure to Lua tables and the terminology. Thanks, Phil.
