use read() 2 times

So as a real newbie in LUA I don't know how to do this, very simple thing.


I have 2 variables let's call them A and B, and I am trying to make the user input both of their values.

A = read()
B = read()

This ofcourse won't work, as this means A is equal to B, I want the user to put in their values, them being completely independant from eachother. This is probably real simple, I just don't know how to.


Thanks in advance

You should really try it before posting it, because doing what you posted will do exactly what you want it to!

read is a function, and it'll do the same thing each time you call it: let the user input some text.

hahaha what a fail by me! Thanks.

I did actually try this before, but it didn't work. I now figured out it was something else that was making it not work.

Is it possible to read Two variables of a sent message that are both in the message part of rednet.send (sorry if this is confusing…)
ex*
rednet.receive(1)
M = io.read()
I = io.read()

(sent message: 5 Hello )
as in send message: Hello to computer 5

Just send two messages to computer 5.
Next time, make a topic in this subforum.
