Will this code:

local strEval = base.tonumber
eval = "if a==1 then a=2 end"

strEval(eval)

Do the same as this code?

if a==1 then a=2 end

Or will i get an error. (I am trying to make a parser/shell for luaFX)

No this code won't do the same.

In fact, base.tonumber("mystring") returns the number that might be contained in mystring.


base.tonumber(" 2e3") return 2000

but base.tonumber (" a = 1") will raise an error because 'a =' is not a number


In the original lua, there is some functions to execute code in a string, but I couldn't include these functions for luafx because they need to compile the parser: that is impossible on AFX (due to exe size restriction)

You can find on internet some lua parser written in lua, but they are too big for luafx...
