New Rednet Server Idea

100% Configurable
It uses string patterns as separation for the name, cmd, etc.

for k, v in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
rednet.open(v)
end
while true do
id, msg = rednet.receive()
name, cmd, parms = msg:match("^(%S*) (%S*) (.*)") -- Name = Servername, Cmd = Command to server, parms = paramers
if name == "server" then -- server name
  print(name)
  if cmd == "joseph" then
   print(cmd)
  else
   print("Unknown Command")
  end
end
end

I will post a tutorial on how to configure this upon request.
Its not really 100% configurable because you need to know string patterns in order to mess with the parameters.

Could you do those of us less familiar with string patterns a favor and explain what the pattern there does? I think I understand most of it but I want to be sure.

I can make a tutorial if you want
The strings are
S = String
^(%S*) - First string thru the message (whole entire first string) IE: patrick like bubbles - it would take out the patrick
(%S*) same thing as above just not the first letter
(.*) is everything after the first two strings IE: patrick likes bubbles - It would be patrick likes bubbles

%S matches all non-space characters, for clarity's sake. See String Matching Patterns.

That's what I was saying but to beginners it basically means all the parts of the string..

Hi!

I am currently working on a client-architecture that works in this manner.

It will be highly modular, and by writing your own events.lua file (basically listing the functions it can perform, and defining them) you can take use of it in any project.

I am also coding a debug/report tool deep into it so that it will be a lot easier to debug and maintain client-server architecture software in the future.

Expected to finnish within the next weeks.

Made the code more efficient by changing all rednet.open() to a table sides then opening all in a for loop.
