shell.run() with variables

Hey guys, I am trying to write a GUI and have hit a snag. From within GUI, I want to be able to press a button (on an advanced computer) and be prompted to enter a file name. I want it to then take you to the code for the file that the user input (or create the new file). Heres the link for the pastebin of my idea for this. http://pastebin.com/e4fRbtWh Thanks all! :)/>

You had the assignment backwards on line 2. You can use either of these:

shell.run("edit "..(...))

--# or this:

shell.run("edit ", (...))

Obviously, you can replace the `(…)` with a variable if you don't want to directly use the first argument.

Thank you very much. It worked perfectly.
