Hi,

Why would you use xpcall instead of pcall since on TI-Nspire the "debug" package is not available ?
Anyway, just google-it

I don't understand your question (maybe because its answer is obvious) I'm just looking forward finding a deeper problem : do you have any source code ?

thank you... Is the call and the structure in LUA for NSpire the same?

Do you have a short example?

Yes, the same. TI did not reinvented the Lua, they only turned it event-based and added their API.

The example given in the second link will work
Code: [Select]
local status, err = pcall(function () a = 'a'+1 end)
print(err)     --> stdin:1: attempt to perform arithmetic on a string value

local status, err = pcall(function () error("my error") end)
print(err)     --> stdin:1: my error

Thank you. It Looks that i have to write a function between the brackets.

My question was: can i use with pcall or xpcall functions Or procedures which i wrote in TI-basic in the TI program editor?

Thank you for your great support. I hope my english is not too bad.

You can call functions (not programs) that you wrote within the Basic Editor, yes.

That's through [lua]math.eval[/lua]
