Send( text )
- text is a string.
This function sends the text over the Telnet connection. text sent is not automatically terminated with a carriage return character. Currently as of Beta 8, MLA will not wait for a response from the console before continuing. It is recommended to use a Wait command of 0.2 seconds to prevent sending commands to the console faster than the console can process them.
Example.
Telnet:Send("Clear\r")
This would send a Clear command to the console. Note the "\r" is the return carriage to terminate the command.
It is often best to create LUA functions to do common tasks
function StoreCue(cue)textToSend = "Store Cue ".. cue.."\r"Telnet:Send(textToSend)end
The LUA function defined above accepts a cue number as a parameter, then constructs the string 'textToSend', which is then passed to the Telnet:Send function.
