scripts

The scripts command lets you create your own Lua scripts or a list of Yantra Launcher commands that will be executed command-by-command. Same command, two flavors.

Note

Scripts are stored internally by Yantra Launcher. You can edit a script in the launcher or choose an external editor from its edit dialog.

Syntax

scripts
scripts -new <name>
scripts <name>
scripts -rm <name>

Use scripts to list scripts, scripts -new <name> to create one, scripts <name> to edit one, and scripts -rm <name> to delete one.

Creating or editing a script opens a choice between Yantra Launcher's editor and an external editor. The script is stored inside Yantra Launcher either way. scripts <name> edits a script; it does not run it.

Running scripts

Use the run command to execute a saved script:

run <name>
run -clean <name>
run -lua <name>

Regular scripts contain one Yantra Launcher command per line. run <name> executes those lines in order and prints their command output; run -clean <name> executes them without printing the command log. Lua scripts must be started with run -lua <name> so they are passed to the Lua interpreter instead of being treated as terminal commands.

Lua scripts can use print() for output, input() for user input, and binding.exec("command") to run a Yantra Launcher command from Lua.

Examples

Simple Lua code example:

print("Hello, World!")

A game:

math.randomseed(os.time())
local secretNumber = math.random(1, 100)
local guess = nil
local attempts = 0

print("Guess the number between 1 and 100!")

while guess ~= secretNumber do
    print("Enter your guess: ")
    guess = tonumber(input())  -- You need to use input instead of io.read()
    attempts = attempts + 1

    if guess < secretNumber then
        print("Too low!")
    elseif guess > secretNumber then
        print("Too high!")
    else
        print("Congratulations! You guessed the number in " .. attempts .. " attempts.")
    end
end

Yantra command-by-command script

termux python hs.py HELLO
launch discord
echo hi

Notes about Lua:

You need to use input() instead of io.read() for input in Yantra Launcher. To execute Lua, use run -lua <name>.
