I play with FTB Direwolf20 for 1.7.10 can I move items between inventories or tanks?

I want to write a program that counts ores in a chest then it sends to a SAG mill if there is more than 8 blocks of that ore

can I do that?

I know I can get the chest like this

local ps = periferal.getNames()
local count = 1
local chests = { }
while count <= #ps do
if periferals.getType(ps[count]) == "chest" then
  table.add(chests, periferal.wrap(ps[count]))
end
count = count + 1
end

but how can I see which items are in the chest and them move them to the SAG mill if there are 8 or more of the same type?
I think I need a computer in the SAG mill too?

This is my first time with this mod.

It'd be far easier to get your chests via:

local chests = {peripheral.find("chest")}

… though you need OpenPeripheral installed to wrap them at all, as vanilla ComputerCraft doesn't recognise them as peripherals.

opdoc can walk you through the commands needed to make wrapped chests actually do things.

…have to mention this, 'cause I wrote it. ;)/>

I do this simple thing: I have one chest to the left one chest to the top of the computer then this is my programme

local chest = peripherals.wrap("left")
local invsz = chest.getInventorySize()

local idx = 1

while idx <= invsz do
   local stk = chest.getStackInSlot(idx)
   if stk then
      local r = chest.pushItem("UP", idx)--error here Other inventory not found
   end
   idx = idx + 1
end

why Other inventory not found? when I run another programme to list methods of the top chest it finds it

When you call chest.pushItem, you're instructing the wrapped chest to push an item upwards. It can't push an item into a chest which is instead above the computer.
