I need help with turtle

I did the code but when i reboot it says bios:206: [string "startup"]:28: unfinished string
I'm using a height:4 width:2 monitor with mining turtle


code:

function counter()
local i = 0
return function() i = i + 1 return i end
end
function modStr(num)
if num < 10 then
return "0" .. num
else
return num
end
end
while true do
if turtle.detect() then
turtle.dig()
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
local total = 0
for i=1,9,1 do
total = total + turtle.getItemCount(i)
end
for i=1,9,1 do
print("Row " .. i .. ": " .. turtle.getItemCount(i) .. " (" .. math.floor((turtle.getItemCount(i)/total)*100) .. "%)")
end
print("Total: " .. total)
print("—————–")
local iterator = counter()
print(" ___ ___ ___ ")
print("|" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |")
print("|___|___|___|")
print("|" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |")
print("|—|—|—|")
print("|" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |")
print("|___|___|___|")
print(" ")
print("—————–")
print("Cobble Farmer")
end
totalcount = turtle.getItemCount(9)
if totalcount == 64 then
term.clear()
term.setCursorPos(1,1)
print("Dropping Stacks")
print("…Please wait.")
sleep(1)
for i=1,9 do
turtle.select(i)
turtle.drop()
end
turtle.select(1)
end
end

print("Row " .. i .. ": " .. turtle.getItemCount(i) .. " (" .. math.floor((turtle.getItemCount(i)/total)*100) .. "%)")
This is the line that's throwing the error, but I don't know why it says unfinished string…
Try defining math.floor((turtle.getItemCount(i)/total)*100) as a variable, then calling back to it. Like this:

local b = math.floor((turtle.getItemCount(i)/total)*100)
print("Row " .. i .. ": " .. turtle.getItemCount(i) .. " (" .. b .. "%)")

Other than that, I don't know…

it will work?

Yeah. You can define a variable almost any way you want. As long as the result is not nil, you should be fine.]

EDIT: Just make sure you put the local variable within the for/do statement.

well im new to this so thanks ill go try now

I think you miscounted. I counted the lines, then pasted the code into notepad++ and both times I got

print("|" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |" .. modStr(turtle.getItemCount(iterator())) .. " |")

So unless there are spaces before the start of counter(), this is the line with the issue.

Though I must admit I tried it in 1.4 and aside from the slot numbers being different, it seemed to work fine.

HAHA, yeah, you're right! I miscounted COMPLETELY…. Sorry, ericpwnz. My bad.

This is why notepad++ counts lines for you lol

Are you using CC version 1.3? And tekkit?

Ok, that's one question answered (and I'm guessing you could count it as two since tekkit has yet to update CC)
As for the problem. What part isn't working? I ran the code you have there on a turtle in 1.4, and even ran it on a monitor and it counted all the blocks I placed in front of it. It didn't move ofc, but aside from that it ran fine.
