Monitor Touch Screen Question

I know you can get a touch on a monitor by using this code:
local event, <side>, x, y = os.pullEvent("monitor_touch)
but is there a way to after this line do like an
if x = 1 then
print ("1")
else
print ("no")
end
or something like that? I like to make my own programs but when it comes to touch screens I'm lost like lost lost….any help would be GREAT!

Split into new topic.

So here is the link for the event: http://computercraft...r_touch_(event)

Run this and you will see how the event works better:

while true do
	local event, side, x, y = os.pullEvent("monitor_touch")
	print("event: " .. event)
	print("side: " .. side)
	print("(x, y): (" .. x .. ", " .. y .. ")")
end

You will have to use CTRL+T to terminate it. The os.pullEvent runs forever until the event happens. The monitor_touch event is fired when there is an Advanced Monitor connected to the computer and a player right-clicks it. It then returns the four variables once it does: event, side, x, and y. Event is the type of event it was (it will always be "monitor_touch" in this case). Side is the side the advanced monitor is connected on ("top", "bottom", "left", "right", "front" or "back"). X and Y are the coords of the position the player clicked.


So lets say you wanted to detect if a player clicked the top left of the screen, you would just do

local event, side, x, y = os.pullEvent("monitor_touch")
if (x == 1 and y == 1) then
	print("Player clicked top left corner")
else
	print("Player clicked (" .. x .. ", " .. y .. ")")
end

angellus, you have just explained to me in 5 minutes what an hour of wiki searches hasn't taught me.
