print("Press [Enter] To Unlock!")

while not key == 13 do -- 13 is the key ENTER
os.sleep(0.1)
until key == 13 then
print("YAY")

Please help me with the following code if possible:

print("Press [Enter] To Unlock!")
event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
while not key == 13 do -- 13 is the key ENTER
os.sleep(0.1)
until key == 13 then
print("YAY")
end

It gives an error at startup, about a 'end expected, (too close 'while' at line #)' I cut this out of some code so the number would be pointless to give, but if possible please help or correct this code. Thanks.

print("Press [Enter] To Unlock!")
repeat
  event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
  os.sleep(0.1)
until key == 13 -- 13 is the key ENTER
print("YAY")

while <condition> do
  -- code
end
-- or repeat:
repeat
  -- code
until <condition>

function someFunction() -- you said it's on a function
  print("Press [Enter] To Unlock!")
  repeat
	local event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
    -- removed the sleep, it's not necesary
  until key == 13 then
  print("YAY")
end

While and Until are two separate types of loop, and Until .. then is not valid syntax.

print("Press [Enter] To Unlock!")
repeat
  event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
  os.sleep(0.1)
until key == 13 -- 13 is the key ENTER
print("YAY")

You got the while syntax wrong:

while <condition> do
  -- code
end
-- or repeat:
repeat
  -- code
until <condition>

So your code should be:

function someFunction() -- you said it's on a function
  print("Press [Enter] To Unlock!")
  repeat
	local event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
	-- removed the sleep, it's not necesary
  until key == 13 then
  print("YAY")
end

Edit: ninja'd :)/>/>

function someFunction() -- you said it's on a function
  print("Press [Enter] To Unlock!")
  repeat
	local event, key = os.pullEvent("key")
  until key == 28 -- 28 is the enter key
  print("YAY")
end

Oh, a little detail: 13 is not the enter key, it's 28.

Wow, thanks, I was just BARELY experiencing this problem. What had happened is I had found the correct key but got it confused from a thing for adobe keyboard IDs, which I though it was a static id for everything.
