Hi!
Is it possible to create a new user variable from within a LUA script, e.g. checking if a variable exists and if not, creating it?

Yes,
Check with this :
Code: Select all
if not uservariables['name'] then
print('User Variable doesnt exist.')
end
and create with the API; look here :

Interesting. I didn't know url_encode. I found the code here :
http://lua-users.org/wiki/StringRecipes if you need.

Code: Select all
function url_encode(str)
if (str) then
str = string.gsub (str, "\n", "\r\n")
str = string.gsub (str, "([^%w %-%_%.%~])",
function (c) return string.format ("%%%02X", string.byte(c)) end)
str = string.gsub (str, " ", "+")
end
return str
end
