Stuck in rednet project

function sendFile(inFile)   -- Needs to be a table/file from fs.open or io.open,and in read mode.
   local outtro
   while true do
      testro = inFile.readLine()
      if testro then
         outtro = outtro .. "n" .. testro
      else break end
   end
   return outtro
end

function sendFileSep(target, inFile)   -- target need to be a vaild computer. inFile needs to be a table/file from fs.open or io.open,and in read mode.
   while true do
      testro = inFile.readLine()
      if testro then
         rednet.send(target)
      else break end
   end
end

Mmm.

Okay so first: how are you parsing the programs to a line presently? Because, it might look something like this.

function sendFile(inFile)   -- Needs to be a table/file from fs.open or io.open,and in read mode.
   local outtro
   while true do
	  testro = inFile.readLine()
	  if testro then
		 outtro = outtro .. "n" .. testro
	  else break end
   end
   return outtro
end

That would dump a file into a line with line breaks, ready for sending. You might even be able to call the function in the send call.

The other way would be

function sendFileSep(target, inFile)   -- target need to be a vaild computer. inFile needs to be a table/file from fs.open or io.open,and in read mode.
   while true do
	  testro = inFile.readLine()
	  if testro then
		 rednet.send(target)
	  else break end
   end
end

I don't know that either way will work great, or at all, but they should.

function sendFile(inFile)   -- is only the direction i changed that
   local inFile = fs.open(inFile,"r")
   local outtro ={}
   while true do
     local testro = inFile.readLine()
	 if testro then
	   table.insert(outtro,testro)
	 else break end
   end
   return textutils.serialize(outtro)
end

function recieveFile(inString,Savepath)   -- Serialized string and Savepath
  local file =  fs.open(Savepath,"w")
  local data=textutils.unserialize(inString)
  for x=1,#data do
	file.writeLine(data[x])
  end
  file.close()
end

toOut = sendFile(file)
rednet.send(target, toOut)

flipped = rednet.receive()

function sendFile(inFile)   -- is only the direction i changed that
   local inFile = fs.open(inFile,"r")
   local outtro ={}
   while true do
	 local testro = inFile.readLine()
	   if testro then
		 table.insert(outtro,testro)
	   else break end
   end
   inFile.close()
   return textutils.serialize(outtro)
end

data = sendFile("filename")

rednet.send(pcid,data)

function recieveFile(inString,Savepath)   -- Serialized string and Savepath
  local file =  fs.open(Savepath,"w")
  local data=textutils.unserialize(inString)
	  for x=1,#data do
		file.writeLine(data[x])
	  end
  file.close()
end

_,text = rednet.receive()
recieveFile(text,"path")

file = fs.open("test", "r")

toOut = sendFile(file)
file.close()

rednet.send(target, toOut)

inFile = rednet.receive()

file = fs.open("test2", "w")
file.close()   -- Should make the file for you

receiveFile(inFile, "test2")

You can send whole programs thru rednet and wifi - (i did this with the adventure program which is 1500+ lines when modems first came out in beta)

To the person above me, your signature is too big.

rednet.open("right")

Next error found:

Now all bugs should be fixed…


Now it should be fixed…


Huh … Who coded the base code?

function sendFile(inFile)   -- is only the direction i changed that
   local inFile = fs.open(inFile,"r")
   local outtro ={}
   while true do

end

  local file =  fs.open(Savepath,"w")
  local data=textutils.unserialize(inString)
	  for x=1,#data do
		file.writeLine(data[x])
	  end
  file.close()
end

raw = sendFile("new")
recieveFile(raw,"test")

function sendFile(inFile)   -- is only the direction i changed that
   local inFile = fs.open(inFile,"r")
   local outtro ={}
   while true do

   return textutils.serialize(outtro)
end

function mod() --this finds the location of the modem
for n,sSide in pairs(rs.getSides()) do
