No one else in the community to my knowledge has posted any questions or samples. I find that odd. I consider myself an experienced programmer with more than 35 years of professional programming under my belt in all kinds of programming languages, from old school (F77) to modern (C#). Lua was new to me, and thanks to some helpful words from Jari, I was able to get these scripts to work like I wanted. I appreciate what Jari is trying to do with JWLua. Believe me, it is not as easy to get started as it may first appear. The learning curve is steep, and JWLua is nothing like FinaleScript. I hope this is not discouraging to anyone. Let’s see some stuff from some others in the community!<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
