i fixed most of my code by myself but on the part where you are typing i can't figure out how to make it where the cursor will go down a line when you push enter.
when i pushed enter it said "notepad:24: attempt to index ? (a nil value)
but i cant figure out how to tell it to go down a line. please help me!!!OH and i would like the next line key to be ENTER, and the finich key to be the END key. thankyou

post the code in

You misspelled term.setCursorPos in line 24: term.setCUrsorPos

Also term.setTextColor by term.setTestColor

I just saw this post a moment ago… and solve some things

dont repost your threads, keep it to one thread.

sorry i thought the title would be miss leading to the windows program Notepad :(/>/>
oh and i changed a ot of things since then

still, some errors…. term.setCursorPos instead of term.setCUrsorPos and term.setTextColor instead of term.setTestColor

i keep getting a attempt to index ( a nil value) on line 56 please help me out

Now to count to line 56…

term.setTestColor(colors.white) = term.setTextColor(colors.white)

no it is the line where it is getting the ink level

Every line for ink and paper level are comparing against string, change this:

printer.getInkLevel() == "0"

to this:

printer.getInkLevel() == 0

and:

printer.getPaperLevel() == "0"

to this:

printer.getPaperLevel() == 0

everywhere

for some reason when ever i hit enter once it f=stops the shell but when i hit enter again it says on the get ink/paper level it says attempt to Index ? (a nil value)
i have no peripherals installed but i am using the current version of computercraft.

oh and none of the assigned key are working either please i really wnat to get this working :(/>/>

Topics merged. Previous posts may be in a confusing order.

i still havent been able to get it working
