Syntax cannot read wordreplace/tLadys.lua: No such file or directory

Syntax ...UA 5)\scripts\zzword_replacer_1.2.lua_5.0_public.lua:253: attempt to index local `fFile' (a nil value)

open the lua file in a editor ..
then find this part

function Main()
   local num = string.gsub(os.date(), "%D", "")
   math.randomseed(tonumber(num))

   dofile("wordreplace/tLadys.lua")
   dofile("wordreplace/tBadWords.lua")
   dofile("wordreplace/tBadFunctions.lua")
   local fFile = io.open("wordreplace/tHistory.lua")
   if fFile then
	dofile("wordreplace/tHistory.lua")
	fFile:close()
   end
   if iRegBot then
	frmHub:RegBot(sBot, 1, "friendly wordreplacer<[URL]www.plop.nl[/URL]>", "lua.plop.nl")
   end
end

and change it to this part

function Main()
   local num = string.gsub(os.date(), "%D", "")
   math.randomseed(tonumber(num))

   --dofile("wordreplace/tLadys.lua")
   dofile("wordreplace/tBadWords.lua")
   dofile("wordreplace/tBadFunctions.lua")
   local fFile = io.open("wordreplace/tHistory.lua")
   if fFile then
	dofile("wordreplace/tHistory.lua")
	fFile:close()
   end
   if iRegBot then
	frmHub:RegBot(sBot, 1, "friendly wordreplacer<[URL]www.plop.nl[/URL]>", "lua.plop.nl")
   end
end

that should fix the problem...

Hmm, I was thinking of this:

local num = string.gsub(os.date(), "%D", "")
math.randomseed(tonumber(num))

Wouldn't it be easier to:

math.randomseed(os.time())

would be easier indeed.
but it's not a real waste as it's only triggered 1x (at script startup).
