I am making a dynamic callback table for a helper function that handles input events.
I want to make a(testString)
execute when functionTable[1](testString)
executes or allow a way for it to be run directly from a string.
functionTable = {}
testString = "atad atad atad"
function a(param)
print(param)
end
functionTable[1] = "a"
exec(functionTable[1].."(testString)")
How should I be doing this?
(for Lua 5.1)
you can use the load()
function to execute strings:
functionTable = {}
testString = "atad atad atad"
function a(param)
print("hello " .. param)
end
functionTable[1] = "a"
load(functionTable[1].."(testString)")()
