I just started the LUA thing about a month ago and am still getting the hang of it. When I execute this code: (I know its long)
Code:
black = Color.new(0, 0, 0)
white = Color.new(255, 255, 255)

newcwd = "ms0:/"
oldpad = Controls.read()
number=1

function openfile()

   text = {}
   i=1
   cheatfile = number .. ".txt"
   start=0
   startx=0
   cross=0
   mode1=1
   mode2=0
   exit2=false

   file = io.open(cheatfile,"r")
   line=file:read("*l")

   while line~=nil do
      text[i]=line
      i=i+1
      line=file:read("*l")
   end

   if i>35 then
      k=35
   else
      k=i
   end
end


function textreader()

   screen:clear(Color.new(0, 0, 0))

   openfile()

   while exit2==false do
      pad = Controls.read()
      if pad:select() then
         exit2=true
      end
      if pad:cross() then
         cross=10
      elseif pad:circle() then
         cross=34
      else
         cross=1
      end

      if pad:down() then
            start=start+cross
            if i<k+start then
               start=i-k
            end
      elseif pad:up() then
            start=start-cross
            if start<0 then
               start=0
            end
      end

      if pad:right() then
            startx=startx+cross
      elseif pad:left() then
            startx=startx-cross
            if startx<0 then
               startx=0
            end
      end

      if oldpad ~= pad then
            if pad:r() then
                  number = number + 1
                  if number > 3 then
                     number=1
                  end
                  openfile()
            elseif pad:l() then
                  number = number - 1
                     if number < 1 then
                        number=3
                     end
                  openfile()
            end
      oldpad = pad
      end

      screen:clear(white)

      for j = 1,k-1 do
         if mode2==0 then
            screen:print(0, 8*(j-1), string.format("%s",string.sub(text[j+start],startx,(string.len(text[j+start])-mode1))), black)
         else
            screen:print(0, 8*(j-1), string.format("%04d",j+start), black)
            screen:print(36, 8*(j-1), string.format("%s",string.sub(text[j+start],startx,(string.len(text[j+start])-mode1))), black)
         end
      end

      screen.waitVblankStart()
      screen.flip()
      screen.waitVblankStart(3)

   end
end

while true do
   textreader()
end

It works fine at first. Once I press the r or l trigger 10 times, i get an error. The error is ":21: attempt to index global 'file' (a nil value)" It is always 10 times. This makes no since. If you execute it, you must make 3 files name 1.txt 2.txt and 3.txt and put random text in it for a test.

thanks in advance

this is probably the 4th topic on this error.. basically, you need to close your files when you're done reading from them. if you have more than 10 files open, lua will crash..
