hey i got a problem with an update program i am making. it's supposed to run startup after 5 sec if no rednet signal has been received, but instead i just get an error after 5 sec and it doesn't start the startupprogram. the error is
Rednet:11: string expected
hope i can get some help with it :)/>
the error is Rednet:11: string expected
thanks in advance :)/>
startup program as requested by Lyqyd –not sure why it screws up the first lines in the spoiler

rednet.open("top")
if fs.exists("startup") == false then
shell.run("pastebin get 9rHSjf3j startup")
shell.run("pastebin get URxGE5tL information")
end
os.startTimer(5)
while true do
local program = "builder"
e,s,msg,dis = os.pullEvent()
if e == "timer" then
shell.run("startup")
elseif e == "rednet_message" and string.sub(msg,1,string.find(msg," ")-1) == "update" then
if string.sub(msg,string.find(msg," ")+1,string.len(msg)) == program then
local pystebin = string.sub(msg,string.len("update "..program)+1,string.len(msg))
fs.delete("startup")
shell.run("pastebin","get",pystebin,"startup")
end
end
end
the error is Rednet:11: string expected
