#53205 I have been using LuaUploader v 1.2.0 from Jeff Cost
https://github.com/JeffCost/ESP8266_Lua_Uploader

It is a nice improvement on the great IDE that Hari Wiguna wrote some years ago. It seems that Jeff has given up supporting or updating v 1.2.0, which is a shame.

My question is: this IDE uses the following construct to load a file line-by-line into the NodeMCU devkit:
Code: Select allfile.writeline([[file content]])

How does this work (or is it supposed to work)? I would expect double quotes instead of [[ ]]. I can't see it mentioned in any Lua or NodeMCU documentation.
