[Question] os.getComputerLabel()

local lbl = os.getComputerLabel()

term.setCursorPos(1,1) -- change this to where you want it to print
write(lbl)

print(os.getComputerLabel())
write(os.getComputerLabel())

local comp = os.getComputerLabel()

if comp ~= null then
  -- print or write comp.
  print(comp)
end

I agree with luanub. This is very basic stuff.

You could do either,

print(os.getComputerLabel())
write(os.getComputerLabel())

And if you think you might forget to label a computer and run this program.

local comp = os.getComputerLabel()

if comp ~= null then
  -- print or write comp.
  print(comp)
end

term.setCursorPos(1,1)
term.write(os.getComputerLabel() or 'unlabeled')

I just want to add that you can also take this exception in account by doing it like this:

term.setCursorPos(1,1)
term.write(os.getComputerLabel() or 'unlabeled')

string lbl = os.getComputerLabel();
system.println(lbl != null ? lbl : "Unlabeled");

Also, in Lua, we use nil, not null.

Haven't done much OOP in lua/CC yet. It's kind of limited in that regard.

Read the Lua Manual, specifically the portion on metatables in Part 2 which leads into OO. The syntax will take some time to get used to, but Lua is far from being 'limited'.
