Compiled Texter to LUA 5 ?

[jiten]

I converted this script to LUA 5 using plop's 425 converter and i didn't get any error when loading it. But, when i type in main something like !911 or !mznet, I don't get any response. Can someone help me on this?
Here's the supposed LUA 5 version:

botname = "?bot?"
file1 = "txt/ophelp.txt"
file2 = "txt/safenet.txt"
file3 = "txt/viphelp.txt"
file4 = "txt/userhelp.txt"
file5 = "txt/mznet.txt"
file6 = "txt/911.txt"

function DataArrival(user,data)
	if string.sub(data, 1, 1) == "<" then
	local data=string.sub(data,1,string.len(data)-1) 
	local s,e,cmd = string.find(data, "%b<>%s+(%S+)")

		if cmd == "!extrahelp" and (user.bOperator) then
		readfrom(file1)
		while 1 do 
			line = read() 
			if line == nil then break end 
			user:SendPM(botname,line) 
			end 
		readfrom() 
		return 1

		elseif cmd == "!safenet" then
		readfrom(file2)
		while 1 do 
			line = read() 
			if line == nil then break end 
			user:SendPM(botname,line) 
			end 
		readfrom() 
		return 1

		elseif cmd == "!extrahelp" and (user.iProfile == 2) then
		readfrom(file3)
		while 1 do 
			line = read() 
			if line == nil then break end 
			user:SendPM(botname,line) 
			end 
		readfrom() 
		return 1

		elseif cmd == "!extrahelp" and (user.iProfile == 3 or user.iProfile == -1) then
		readfrom(file4)
		while 1 do 
			line = read() 
			if line == nil then break end 
			user:SendPM(botname,line) 
			end 
		readfrom()
		return 1

		elseif cmd == "!mznet" then
		readfrom(file5)
		while 1 do 
			line = read() 
			if line == nil then break end 
			user:SendPM(botname,line) 
			end 
		readfrom() 
		return 1

		elseif cmd == "!911" then
		readfrom(file6)
		while 1 do 
			line = read() 
			if line == nil then break end 
			user:SendPM(botname,line) 
			end 
		readfrom() 
		return 1

		end
	end;
end;

Replace the following 2 lines:

function DataArrival(user,data)

	if string.sub(data, 1, 1) == "<" then

to

function ChatArrival(user,data)

you need to have a look at the new api:

function DataArrival(user,data) doesnt exist anylonger

I made the replacements just like bastya_elvtars said, but, when I typed a command in mainchat i got this error:

Syntax ...rai\Desktop\16.04rls\scripts\cmdcompiler.lua_5.0.lua:65: attempt to call global `readfrom' (a nil value)

[bastya_elvtars]

This, and similar codes have to be replaced too:

readfrom(file5)

		while 1 do 

			line = read() 

			if line == nil then break end 

			user:SendPM(botname,line) 

			end 

		readfrom()

to

local f,e = io.open(file5,"r")
	if f then
		while 1 do
			local line = f:read("*l")
			if line ==  nil then
				break
			end
                        user:SendPM(botname,line) 
		end
		f:close(f)
	end

Thanks for the hints, bastya_elvtars. It worked perfectly...  :D

[plop]

it should work fine with 425.lua and the newolddataarrival scripts i posted.
but they should be really converted.
any volunteers??  lol
