The program that I have written uses a custom file format based on XML. Everything that the program needs is in this file including my Lua script. Because the file isn’t totally a Lua script, I load the script using the function luaL_loadbuffer. I do not want this implementation detail to be shown to the user, but when an error occurs the error is something like what is shown below. I do not want the first 16 characters. I know I can remove that portion before I present it to the user, but I was wondering if this is the preferred approach for this problem. I want to make sure I’m using the correct function.
[string "Temp"]:10: bad argument #1
