Lua_00 - a first simple Lua Script

"Lua_00" demonstrates the invocation of Lua scripts and tests the proper handing over of any given command line arguments.

The program itself is extremely simple and therefore does not require any further explanation. Upon an invocation of the form

  lua Lua_00.lua one_word "multiple words" "multiple words with \" in between"

the program produces the following output:

  Lua_00 - lists the given command line arguments

  got 4 arguments:
    1) "Lua_00.lua"
    2) "one_word"
    3) "multiple words"
    4) "multiple words with " in between"

If invoked without any command line parameters

  lua Lua_00.lua

it simply shows:

  Lua_00 - lists the given command line arguments

  got one argument:
    1) "Lua_00.lua"
