no io.popen? o.O

[Andmann]

when I try to use io.popen it tells me I'm calling a nil field D:

io.open works fine though

so we don't have an implementation for that?

I think it's intentionally blocked because it can be easily abused.

Mods are ran in a sandbox, and being able to run a process outside of the game itself would breach it.

I see...

I just wanted to check the anim folder for all its contents and then create the assets table from that so people who want to use my framework don't have to worry about anything else but creating their custom anim files.

Well the only alternative to what I'm trying to achieve would be lsf. which is also an external library

oh well, guess that won't be happening then
