Terminal Language

Some Basic LUA functions may not work, they will be added in the feature.

Welcome! Here is some WIP documentation of the Terminal in ROBLOS

Terminal commands are created using the vanilla version of Lua

Here is an example of the $ls$ command

--#DESCRIPTION: Displays a list of files and subdirectories in a directory\nUsage: ls
modules.echo.off()
local folders = modules.folder.getFolder(modules.folder.getDir())
local stuff = {}
for name,_ in pairs(folders) do
	table.insert(stuff,name)
end
modules.echo.on()
	
print(table.concat(stuff,","))

So what is going on?

All programs must start with a description, to start your first program go to the notepad and start it off with the code below.

--#DESCRIPTION: Explain what your program does

Next let's get used to our tools

There is a new global variable called $modules$

These variables allow you to interact with the OS, some examples could be getting the current directory and changing it as well.

Current Modules Implemented

Folder Modules

modules.folder.isValid(path: String): Boolean
-- Checks if path is a valid Path not if it exist.

modules.folder.changeDir(path: String): Void
--Changes terminal directory

modules.folder.getDir(): String
-- Return current Directory path

modules.folder.getFolder(path: String): Table
-- Returns all content within that path as a table, this includes the metadata of that current file

modules.folder.copy(filePath: String, NewPath: String): Boolean
-- Copy a file NOT A DIRECTORY to a new path

Echo Module

modules.echo.off()
-- Disables any print,warn,usage,error function

modules.echo.on()
-- Enables all print,warn,usage,error function

modules.echo.off()
-- Disables any print,warn,usage,error function

modules.echo.toggle()
-- Toggles all print,warn,usage,error function

modules.echo.force()
-- Force any print,warn,usage,error to be enabled or disabled function

Now you know, the basics of the terminal language.

As of now this is still a WIP and more modules are getting added along with more commands. This documentation will be changed to include more information but of now.

That's all folks!
