I was wondering if it is possible to interact with your computer through Lua (Through SciTE or Sublime Text, I suppose…)? For instance, can you play a .mp3, or open a file with Lua?
Yes, through the use of the operating system library
os.You can use
os.execute([command])to run any command from the host operating system’s shell (think terminal or command prompt).There’s more information on using this library in the Lua online reference manual.
