I am all about learning and teaching, so please if you don't know what something does, or just want to know why I did it this way… just ask :)/>
Hope you enjoy :D/>
For the most part if there is any variables that you need to change it will be towards the top of the program code clearly labelled.
How to use:
Note that this API also uses os.pullEventRaw() to prevent termination during executing. Perfect for updating your door locking programs or anything that you don't want to terminate :)/>
To use this in your code you must first load it as an API using
if doCheck and isNewerVersion(apiName, apiVersion, apiCheckUrl, nil, showDebug) then
downloadAndInstallUpdate("tester", apiUrl, shell.getRunningProgram(), showDebug)
end
There are 3 functions that this api provides:
First function:
this function requires the programs name, the version on the computer, the RAW url for the file containing the latest version (raw git and raw pastebin recommended), the pattern which is used to split the lines if nil is parsed it will default to ":", if debug is true the api will print out some progress messages.
Second function:
Third function:
If everything is done correctly you are DONE! :D/>

Please not that it is self updating. If you do not want this feature enabled turn the doCheck variable towards the bottom of the file to false.Note that this API also uses os.pullEventRaw() to prevent termination during executing.

To use this in your code you must first load it as an API using
os.loadAPI( pathToFile )
if doCheck and isNewerVersion(apiName, apiVersion, apiCheckUrl, nil, showDebug) then
downloadAndInstallUpdate("tester", apiUrl, shell.getRunningProgram(), showDebug)
end
There are 3 functions that this api provides:
First function:

isNewerVersion(progName, installedVersion, versionUrl, pat, debug)
isNewerVersion(progName, installedVersion, versionUrl, pat)
Second function:

downloadAndInstallUpdate(progName, updateUrl, progPath, debug)
downloadAndInstallUpdate(progName, updateUrl, progPath)
shell.getRunningProgram()
Third function:

This function combines the two previous functions in one call, if there is a new version it will update it.
checkAndUpdate(progName, installedVersion, progListUrl, pat, updateDownloadUrl, progPath, debug)
checkAndUpdate(progName, installedVersion, progListUrl, pat, updateDownloadUrl, progPath)
