By the way, I believe if it were to output a proper 6-character html color, the format should be

Code Sample

color_selected = format("%.2X%.2X%.2X",r,g,b)

As it is now, an R, G, or B value of 0 is converted to a hex value of 0 instead of 00

For the first two, yes, those are the actions performed in the given segments (Though, you seem to have the format wrong for the second?).

So, I'll have a .lua file with the contents:

Code Sample

updateXserverrc(" 800x600x16")

xsri --color=#99,66,60

How do I call it?
Just click on it from emelFM?

No, to everything.

You didn't read my carefully-and-slowly-typed response, which explain at least the first two things I see wrong with your .lua file.

As far as how you call it....it depends on how the file was written and whether or not it's executeable.

You really should read a little bit about the process of scripting.
This applies to bash, but it's the same concept:

Sorry, too many answers from too many different people. I'm getting confused as a result.

No offense intended. Thanks for the URL.

no offense taken. As usual, my response was lighthearted, although i probably should use more smilies.

I hope you find scripting to be a pleasure. It is a constant learning experience and a joy to make something useful to yourself and others, although it can also be frustrating at times. Fortunately the positive greatly outweighs the negative.
