Advanced Pulser?

Is there a way to make a program that pulses a redstone signal but asks how many times it should pulse before and then pulses the amount of times. Im planning to use this with redpower transposers so i can specify the amount i want of a certain item.

Yes.

I have this already

print("How many:")

redstone.setBundledOutput("back", colors.blue)
sleep(1)
redstone.setBundledOutput("back", colors.blue)
os.reboot()

Its how i should repeat the pulse and i used bundled cable instead of redstone just so i could have different items on the same computer.
I have renamed multible programs to a ingot name and changed the bundled cable output color on the programs so its semi working

If you want it to pulse a specific amount of times, better use a for loop:

for i=1, times do
  --pulse code
end

If you want it to run for infinity, use a while true do loop:

while true do
  -- pulse code
end

I did this

print("How many:")
for i=read(), times do
redstone.setBundledOutput("back", colors.red)
sleep(1)
redstone.setBundledOutput("back", colors.red)
end
os.reboot()

but get this error

You change the times variable:

print("Times: ")
for i=1, tonumber(read()) do -- both i and times have to be numbers.
end
