Dear all,
I save a table “tfList” using table.save in Lua:
\startluacode ... table.save(“tempList.lua”,tfList) ... \stopluacode
And I call it in MetaFun using a method explained in the MetaFun book.
\startMPcode lua("MP = { } MP.data = table.load('tempList.lua')") ; … \stopMPcode
However, I found that whenever I save “tfList”, table contents are appended to the file “tempList.lua” at the end which cause a trouble. I want the tempList.lua contains the new table only. I search the method to do that, but I can’t find it. The only way is to change the file name each time which is not good to make a macro.
Is there a way to clear the contents in the tempList.lua before I save another table?
so you add to that list? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
