Like this:
-- String.lua
local setmetatable = setmetatable
local ipairs = ipairs
local tostring = tostring
local concat = table.concat
local sub = string.sub
local wrap = coroutine.wrap
local yield = coroutine.yield
module "String"
local letters = function(t)
return wrap(function()
for i, v in ipairs(t) do
v = tostring(v)
for j = 1, #v do
yield(sub(v, j, j))
end
end
end)
end
local compare = function(t1, t2)
local next1, next2 = letters(t1), letters(t2)
local l1, l2 = next1(), next2()
while l1 and l2 and l1 == l2 do
l1, l2 = next1(), next2()
end
return l1 == l2
end
function new(t)
local t = t or {}
local intern = ""
local last = 0
return setmetatable(t, {
__tostring = function(t, k)
if last < #t then
intern = intern .. concat(t, "", last + 1)
last = #t
end
return intern
end,
__add = function(t, s)
t[#t + 1] = s
return t
end,
__eq = compare
})
end
Test:
$ lua -lString
