Using lua I/O libraries in scripting

I am trying to use the scripting engine to do a few things programmatically, and one thing that I need is the ability to load some data from a text (CSV) file.

I tried to open a file, and read, using the line:

for line in io.lines(filename) do

However, I received the error:

attempt to index global 'io' (a nil value)

Typically io is imported by default in lua. Is there a way to import this?

Hi Andrew.

Make sure the option called ‘Use IO Libraries’ is clicked before you use file routines.

You can find this under the Options Menu in the Menu bar of IceSL.
