so, i was making an OS when this line got an error:

shell.run("edit", directory"/"file)

i'm attempting to call edit with the variable directory as the directory and the file variable as the file name
so, how do i do this? or is this even possible?

If you want to concatenate (join) strings within Lua, use "..".

shell.run("edit", directory .. "/" .. file)
