Lua (command line) remains open after execution

Question

I searched all this for the sake of it, but I cannot find it. Is there a way to execute a Lua script by double-clicking on it (execute it in Lua (Command Line) ) and save it after execution?

For instance:

 print("Hello World") 

This code compiles and runs, however, if I double-click hello.lua , it starts and closes immediately without leaving any text on the screen. I want something more similar, but without the need to switch to Command Prompt , changing the directory several times, typing lua file.lua , etc.:

Answer 1

The easiest way is to simply add a “pause” at the end of your script:

 print 'Hello World' os.execute 'pause' 

Answer 2

Add io.read () at the end of your script.
