I'm working on a permissions system and you know nodes are like:

<1>.<2>.<3>.<4> …
but also
<1>.*

and now i want to look for each part (which i've spliten) if the user has the .* permissions and at the end the complete node…

2nd q:

How can i convert a String to an object:


-- args[1] is e.g. "Sam"

os.loadAPI(args[1]) -- load Sam for password and permissions
-- now i need to know the argument but ...

Thank u guys

Can you rephrase the questions? I have asked multiple people on IRC and none of them can understand the questions.

I need to look for every item in a list whether it fits to a format like: <priveous items>.<item>.* . And the last item of the list should be handled without *.

And: Q2: I have an unknown filename(String) to load as API and i need to use this api, but how!
