I know I did). I know Brandon recently posted a link on learning Lua from a Perl background, but I've never been much of a Perl guy.
I agree that a best practices or style guide of some kind would be handy. While writing a script, there were a few times when I wasn't sure what the proper style was. Here are some thoughts I had while I was writing: - Tab indenting or spaces? If spaces, how many? - Should there be a maximum line length? - Is it better to use, for example, str:len() or string.length(str)? When is one preferred? Among other things. Thankfully, Lua doesn't have braces so I don't have to be upset at people who put their braces in the clearly wrong place (you know where they ought to be)! :) Ron _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://SecLists.Org
