yo, i am having troubble with my standard turtle startup method i always use, it looks ugly… i want to be able to hid the pastebin get that it does, i display a 'downloaded file' in the code, but i think the standard one just looks ugly, is there a way to get rid of that? heres a screen shot of what it looks like as of current, and the code.

You could be super lazy and just do
parallel.waitForAll(
function()
shell.run"pastebin get whatever derpderp"
end,
term.clear
)
However, that's quite a retarded and stupid way of doing it :P/>
The proper way, would require you to setup your own pastebin program. It's quite simple, as you can just copy the parts you need from the pastebin program itself really.
Spoiler
local function printUsage()
print( "Usages:" )
print( "pastebin put <filename>" )
print( "pastebin get <code> <filename>" )
print( "pastebin run <code> <arguments>" )
end
local tArgs = { ... }
if #tArgs < 2 then
printUsage()
return
end
if not http then
printError( "Pastebin requires http API" )
printError( "Set enableAPI_http to true in ComputerCraft.cfg" )
return
end
local function get(paste)
write( "Connecting to pastebin.com... " )
local response = http.get(
"http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i="..textutils.urlEncode( paste )
)
if response then
print( "Success." )
local sResponse = response.readAll()
response.close()
return sResponse
else
printError( "Failed." )
end
end
local sCommand = tArgs[1]
if sCommand == "put" then
-- Upload a file to pastebin.com
-- Determine file to upload
local sFile = tArgs[2]
local sPath = shell.resolve( sFile )
if not fs.exists( sPath ) or fs.isDir( sPath ) then
print( "No such file" )
return
end
-- Read in the file
local sName = fs.getName( sPath )
local file = fs.open( sPath, "r" )
local sText = file.readAll()
file.close()
-- POST the contents to pastebin
write( "Connecting to pastebin.com... " )
local key = "0ec2eb25b6166c0c27a394ae118ad829"
local response = http.post(
"http://pastebin.com/api/api_post.php",
"api_option=paste&"..
"api_dev_key="..key.."&"..
"api_paste_format=lua&"..
"api_paste_name="..textutils.urlEncode(sName).."&"..
"api_paste_code="..textutils.urlEncode(sText)
)
if response then
print( "Success." )
local sResponse = response.readAll()
response.close()
local sCode = string.match( sResponse, "[^/]+$" )
print( "Uploaded as "..sResponse )
print( "Run \"pastebin get "..sCode.."\" to download anywhere" )
else
print( "Failed." )
end
elseif sCommand == "get" then
-- Download a file from pastebin.com
if #tArgs < 3 then
printUsage()
return
end
-- Determine file to download
local sCode = tArgs[2]
local sFile = tArgs[3]
local sPath = shell.resolve( sFile )
if fs.exists( sPath ) then
print( "File already exists" )
return
end
-- GET the contents from pastebin
local res = get(sCode)
if res then
local file = fs.open( sPath, "w" )
file.write( res )
file.close()
print( "Downloaded as "..sFile )
end
elseif sCommand == "run" then
local sCode = tArgs[2]
local res = get(sCode)
if res then
local func, err = loadstring(res)
if not func then
printError( err )
return
end
setfenv(func, getfenv())
local success, msg = pcall(func, unpack(tArgs, 3))
if not success then
printError( msg )
end
end
else
printUsage()
return
end

You could just create your own pastebin function
--[[
@description "Downloads a file from pastebin"
@param name, string
@param code, string
@return nil
--]]
function pastebin_get( name, code )
local response = http.get("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i="..textutils.urlEncode(code))
if response then
local file = fs.open(name,"w")
local sCode = response.readAll()
response.close()
file.write(sCode)
file.close()
else
error("Error getting the file " .. name, 0)
end
end
And use it like this
print( "I'm downloading a file now! :D/>/>")
pastebin_get( "<Input filename>", "<Input pastebin code>" )
print( "Yay! Downloaded <Your file>! :D/>/>" )

parallel.waitForAll(
function()
shell.run"pastebin get whatever derpderp"
end,
term.clear
)
This would clear anything printed before the download starts, but would leave intact the success/failure message.

Guess he could throw in a clear afterwards aswell, and or maybe use clearLine instead. I didn't put much thought into that idea, cause like i said, it's a stupid one.

If it's stupid then why did you post it? It could be a problem if the OP decided to go with that( But I'm pretty sure he won't ) :P/>

Simply http.get() from pastebin's raw pages
Example:
local content = http.get("http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=PaStEiD").readAll()

No it doesn't need to be in a separate file, If you would do that you would have to load it with os.loadAPI
--[[
Let's say you've put the code in a file called
potatoes, Then you would have to use it like
this
--]]
os.loadAPI( "potatoes" ) -- Loading the API
potatoes.pastebin_get( "<Filename>", "<Code>" )
I mentioned above that it was a function, If you're unsure what that is I suggest you go and check out this site
http://www.lua.org/pil/contents.html#P1 and learn what you need to learn
or you can just google it, Google is your best friend ;)/>
The code that I posted checks if the website is responding and if it isn't it will error with the error I inputted( Error getting the file <Filename> )
