InstallUtils - A very small library for Pastebin stuff

Features:

• Load an API directly from pastebin without a single fs call
• Run something from pastebin without running the Pastebin program(not the greatest idea)
• Download something from pastebin, again, without running the Pastebin program.

Usage:
Copy and paste this at the top of your installer. This is the easiest and recommended way.

Functions:
pasteRun(pasteID, tableOfArgs)]
pastePI(pasteID,tableForAPI) - This will load the pasteID, but all functions go into the global table of name specified. As in, you pass it 2 strings.
pasteGet(pasteID) Returns: The program, in a string
pasteGetAndSave(pasteID,fileLocation) Gets a program and writes it to a file.

So, it's a fairy simple API, 56 lines long. I wrote it because of the need for loading an API off pastebin, then decided I should just make it a general purpose installer API.

I was going to make one of these… I didn't think of putting it as a file header though. Nice job.

Thanks!
I've added it to LimitlessBox v3, so it's now 25% more spaghetti because 2 functions do the same thing!
