# Utils

Useful Utilities for Lua!

This file was made firstly for myself, but then I wanted to share it with people, so here it is!

# Utilities avaible:

## String

 * `string.random(count,min,max) ` 

"count, min, max" are not required, this function returns a random string

* `string.split(str,split)`

this function splits a string to a table

* `string.mix(str)`

see `mix`

* `string.startswith(str,pattern)`

verify if a string starts with the pattern

* `string.endswith(str,pattern)`

same as above but for the end of the string

* `string.encode`

table for encoding

* `string.decode`

table for decoding

* `string.encode.hex(str)`

encode a string into hex

* `string.decode.hex(str)`

decode a string into hex

* `string.encode.b64(str)`

encode a string into base64

* `string.decode.b64(str)`

decode a string into base64

* `string.totable`

transforms a string to a table

## I/O

* `io.readfile(path/to/file.txt)`

reads a file

* `io.store(file,content,true)`

stores data into a file, the "true" mean we do a new line at the end of the file for future storing

## Math

* `math.mix`

see  `mix`

* `math.calc`

Calculator sandboxed (You can't inject code)

## OS

* `os.find("file","dir")`

search for a file in a directory

* `os.clear()`

clear the terminal, works with all OS

* `os.getOS()`

returns the current OS

* `os.getArch()`

get if the arch is 64 bits or 32 bits

* `os.outputexec`   

Get the output of a system command

* `os.splitpath(path)`

Splits the path

## Table

* `table.merge(t1,t2)`

merges two tables

* `table.to2D(str)`

returns a 2D table version of the string you sent

* `table.tostring(tbl)`

returns a string of the table you sent

* `table.list(tbl)`

return in a string a list of elements of a table, also returns count

* `table.head(tbl)`

returns first value

* `table.tail(tbl)`

returns the tail of the table

* `table.find(tbl)`

find a value in a table

* `table.reverse(tbl)`

reverses a table. Warning: only works with normal keys (1,2,3..)

## Console

* `console.log(str)`

logs something with time and date

* `console.slowPrint(str)`

prints something slowly

* `console.slowWrite(str)`

writes something slowly (using io.write)

* `console.error(error type, error message, additional infos)`

advanced erroring

* `console.update(bool,str...)`

Will update the console, bool: is the text slowly appearing.

## Others

* `sleep(t)`

will wait the amount of time given

* `operator`

Operators, can always be useful

* `morse`

A table with char for morse in it

* `chars`

a string with all chars, used for  `string.encode.b64(str)`

* `mix`

mix a string or ints

* `dostring`

a remake of the old loadstring for Lua 5.3 - execute a string as a piece of code

* `isType`

Shorter for type(obj) == "obj"
