Trying to start with Lua. Unseccesful to compile in SciTE

[Richard Raimondo]

I am trying to start programming in Lua, but never mind what I do, SciTE does not give me a run key or compile option.

This is what I did so far: Used the included examples in the package. All run as expected. Now, I want to do the simplest thing. I do File>New, and I get a blank page, I type:

print("hello")

No way to go anywhere from here. I am sure I am missing something basic, but I have no clue on what that is. I remember in C++ you have to call the library, but I have not seen that in any example in Lua. Can some one give some light to this ignorant? Kind of "do you have your computer plugged in"? question will help me a lot. In other words, full proof instructions.

Thanks a lot

Hi Richard, 

I think you need to save the text as a "somefile.lua" and then you can run what you typed using execute button.  

But LuaForWindows is not being supported, I'd suggest using Lua Integrated Development Environment -  Zerobrane -  http://studio.zerobrane.com/ it is current and has built in tutorials. 

Regards 

Andrew Wilson
