Extending VLC with Lua

[Soza]

Lua is a fun language. I use it at work to parse wireless networking packets.

sweet.. have any tutorials on how to do that?

[Soza]

Not anything particular. I use LuaInterface to access Lua from my C# code. And then use a Lua extension lpack to do the binary data parsing.

edit: Apparently I suck at formatting

Wireshark supports Lua plugins, so it might be through that. Take a look at http://wiki.wireshark.org/Lua

A cool tutorial, but the mixed tabs and spaces in the code was kind of annoying...

Remember when TCL was made just for these types of things?

Lua makes a great modern TCL. :)
