I have the following test.lua script:
print("before function")
function calc(n)
print("in function")
print(10*n)
end
I'm trying to execute it from the command line using lua test.lua calc 10, but the only output I get is:
before function
What should I do to get the following output:
before function
in function
100
For the following code,
m = {}
print("before function")
function m.calc(n)
print("in function")
print(10*n)
end
m[arg[1]](arg[2])
the command lua test.lua calc 10 would output:
before function
in function
100

Hey i am runing the following piece of code:
import nipype.interfaces.spm as spm
realign = spm.Realign()
And getting the following error:
raise IOError("This docstring was not generated by Nipype!\n") from e
OSError: This docstring was not generated by Nipype!
After debugging:
My code:
spm.Realign()
When this runs it uses matlab to run the follwing (base.py lines 217):
mlab.inputs.script = """
if isempty(which('spm')),
throw(MException('SPMCheck:NotFound','SPM not in matlab path'));
end;
spm_path = spm('dir');
[name, version] = spm('ver');
fprintf(1, 'NIPYPE path:%s|name:%s|release:%s', spm_path, name, version);
exit;
"""
try:
out = mlab.run()
I run it in Matlab and got :
>> isempty(which('spm'))
ans =
logical
0
>> [name, version] = spm('ver');
fprintf(1, 'NIPYPE path:%s|name:%s|release:%s', spm_path, name, version);
NIPYPE path:C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2022b\toolbox\spm12\spm12|name:SPM12|release:7771
so as you can see I have result from this script, but when checking the "out" variable here (line 239):
out = sd._strip_header(out.runtime.stdout)
Stdout is "" empty string
So I think the problem is Somehow related to the answer of the script from Matlab, how to fix it ??
Thanks!
I'm currently learning Lua and also learning how to work with CMD.
I know how to change a directory path and run my codes and files from that path
but what I don't know and I'm here to ask for is how to get out of a programming language REPL when you start it in CMD
For example to jump into the Lua REPL you should type:
lua53 (--like python3 for the Python language)
then you changed the CMD environment to a Lua compiler and can't access CMD commands such as
dir, cd, cls etc. and everytime when I need to access these commands I have to close the CMD window and open a new one.
Now can you guys tell me am I able to access CMD commands while in the Lua REPL? Or do I have to exit Lua first, and is there any command to exit a REPL?
I'd recommend EOF (Ctrl + D on Unix) rather than SIGKILL (Ctrl + C) because some REPLs (node and python) choose to ignore the latter (perhaps because it's often used for copying text?); python will just print KeyboardInterrupt whereas node will only exit if you press Ctrl + C twice (it will send a message telling you this the first time).
EOF (Ctrl + D) on the other hand immediately exists all REPLs I have used so far.
The Lua REPL stops immediately when it receives either EOF or SIGKILL, so you can use both here.
Edit: As Sowban points out, EOF apparently is entered as Ctrl + Z then Enter in powershell.
You could type ctrl c to exit the process that's running generally.
I suggest to write a REPL by yourself.
But be warned :-)
The main loop with a prompt and the interpreting and executing function/method is mostly the easiest part.
99.99999% is the errorhandling thing.
One of my earliest interpreter language is (A)REXX.
A REPL without any errorhandling is done with...
/* REXX have to start with a comment */
do forever
parse pull input
interpret input
end
Now Lua sandboxed to an _ENV with io and os library and a little bit of errorhandling...

I am using Eclipse LDT for development, using the packaged Lua EE and Interpreter for Lua 5.2. I need to call the commandDatabase() method from my main method, though when I try, I receive the error:
"attempt to call global 'commandDatabase' (a nil value)".
I have looked up this error, and I am, as far as I can tell, defining methods in the right order.
Lua - attempt to call global 'contains' (a nil value)
When I view it in the debugger, the interpreter does not seem to find any methods I define between commandSystem and commandHelp. It shows each other function in the Variables area as e.g. ["commandSystem"] = function() but commandDatabase() does not appear
I have tried calling a wrapper method like so:
function commandDatabaseStep()
return commandDatabase()
end
... but this did not work either (same error)
The relevant code:
-- System command
function commandSystem()
...
end
-- Database command
function commandDatabase()
if arguments[2] == "no_arg1" then
print("The 'database' command must have at least one argument: [generate, wipe, dump, delete, get <system_name>]", true)
return 2
elseif arguments[2] == "generate" then
local file = io.open(database, "w+")
file:write("#ssmhub database")
file:close(file)
return 1
elseif arguments[2] == "dump" then
print("= DUMP START =")
for line in io.lines(database) do
print(line)
end
print("= DUMP END =")
return 1
-- 1+
elseif arguments[2] == "get" then
-- 2+
if isEmpty(arguments[3]) then
print("The 'database get' command must have a <name> parameter")
return 0
-- 2-
else -- 3+
local file = io.open(database, "r")
for line in io.lines(file) do -- 4+
local state = ""
local id = ""
local dividersFound = 0
line:gsub(".", function(c) -- 5+
if c == "|" then -- 6+
if dividersFound == 0 then -- 7+
state = state .. c
end -- 7-
if dividersFound == 1 then -- 8+
id = id .. c
end -- 8-
dividersFound = dividersFound + 1
end -- 6-
end) -- 5-
io.close(file)
end -- 4-
end -- 3-
else -- 9+
print("Illegal argument for command. Use 'help' for a list of commands and arguments.")
return 0
end -- 9-
end -- 2-
end -- 1-
function commandHelp()
...
end
-- Main
function main()
arguments = readProgramArguments()
commandArgument = arguments[1]
commandCompleteCode = 0
-- Process help and system commands
if commandArgument == "database" then
commandCompleteCode = commandDatabase()
end
end main()
As #luther pointed out, I had one-too-many end-s in commandDatabase.
This wasn't flagged in my IDE because I had not end-ed commandSystem, so commandSystem was nested inside of it.
To fix: add an end to commandSystem, and remove the end which I tagged '-- 1-'.
I am trying to run inputfile_calrel_example1 FERUM Matlab scripts from https://www.sigma-clermont.fr/en/ferum in Octave-5.1.0.0 but run into errors with respect to print_usage and fzero as follows:
error: Invalid call to fzero. Correct usage is:
-- fzero (FUN, X0)
-- fzero (FUN, X0, OPTIONS)
-- [X, FVAL, INFO, OUTPUT] = fzero (...)
error: called from

Looking through print_usage.m file reveals line 91 as follows:
error ("Octave:invalid-fun-call", msg);
while lines 78 to 92:
if (at_toplev)
error ("Octave:invalid-fun-call",
"Invalid call to %s. Correct usage is:\n\n%s\n%s",
name, usage_string, __additional_help_message__ ());
else
msg = sprintf ("Invalid call to %s. Correct usage is:\n\n%s",
name, usage_string);
## Ensure that the error doesn't end up with a newline, as that disables
## backtraces.
if (msg(end) == "\n")
msg(end) = " ";
endif
error ("Octave:invalid-fun-call", msg);
endif
and fzero lines 132 to 134 are as follows:
if (nargin < 2 | nargin > 3)
print_usage (mfilename ());
end
I would like to have hints as to how to resolve the above error messages.

As stated in the comments, fzero was called with the following arguments.
drho0_dthetafi.mu = fzero( ...
'betadrho0_dthetaf' ...
, 0 ...
, optimset('fzero') ...
, dF_dthetafi.mu ...
, PHI2 ...
, F ...
, dPHI2_dZi ...
, dZi_dthetafi.mu ...
, dPHI2_drho0 ...
, detJ ...
, WIP ...
);
From the documentation (help fzero) you can see that the above call is not a valid fzero call:
-- fzero (FUN, X0, OPTIONS)
Find a zero of a univariate function
FUN is a function handle, inline function, or string containing the
name of the function to evaluate.
X0 should be a two-element vector specifying two points which
bracket a zero. If X0 is a single scalar then several nearby and distant
values are probed in an attempt to obtain a valid bracketing. If this is not
successful, the function fails.
OPTIONS is a structure specifying additional options.
To initialize an options structure with default values for 'fzero'
use 'options = optimset ("fzero")'.
So as you see, the extra arguments after 'optimset' trigger an error.
I'm assuming that the extra arguments were intended to be arguments to the betadrho0_dthetaf function. In general the function FUN expects a single argument (since it is univariate). If your betadrho0_dthetaf function expects a number of other parameters, then instead of using it in fzero via string, wrap it around an anonymous function handle which does only take a single argument, and uses your intended function internally to calculate the intended result, e.g.
drho0_dthetafi.mu = fzero( ...
#(x) betadrho0_dthetaf( ...
x ...
, dF_dthetafi.mu ...
, PHI2 ...
, F ...
, dPHI2_dZi ...
, dZi_dthetafi.mu ...
, dPHI2_drho0 ...
, detJ ...
, WIP ...
) ...
, 0 ...
, optimset('fzero') ...
);
or something along those lines, depending on how you would call that beta function.
I wrote the following function:
function [output_signal] = AddDirectivityError (bat_loc_index, butter_deg_vector, sound_matrix)
global chirp_initial_freq ;
global chirp_end_freq;
global sampling_rate;
global num_of_mics;
global sound_signal_length;
for (i=1 : num_of_mics)
normalized_co_freq = (chirp_initial_freq + chirp_end_freq)/ (1.6* sampling_rate);
A=sound_matrix ( i, : ) ;
peak_signal=max(A);
B=find(abs(A)>peak_signal/100);
if (butter_deg_vector(i)==0)
butter_deg_vector(i)=2;
end
[num, den] = butter(butter_deg_vector(i), normalized_co_freq, 'low');// HERE!!!
filtered_signal=filter(num,den, A );
output_signal(i, :)=filtered_signal;
end
This functions runs many-many times without any error. However, when I reach the line: [num, den] = butter ( butter_deg_vector(i), normalized_co_freq, 'low');
And the local variables are: i=3, butter_deg_vector(i)=1, normalized_co_freq=5.625000e-001
MATLAB prompts an error says:
??? Error using ==> buttap Expected N to be integer-valued.
"Error in ==> buttap at 15 validateattributes(n,{'numeric'},{'scalar','integer','positive'},'buttap','N');
Error in ==> butter at 70 [z,p,k] = buttap(n);"
I don't understand why this problem occurs especially in this iteration. Why does this function prompt an error especially in this case?
Try to change the code line for:
[num, den] = butter (round(butter_deg_vector(i)), normalized_co_freq, 'low');
