Function description for the nwll.lua library?

[NielsVanEijck]

Hello,

I am writing a LUA parser at the moment and I need to calculate a MD5 hash. I have the funny feeling that this might be available in the nwll.lua library, but I'm unable to find a description of which functions are available in this library. Does anybody know where I could find this?

Cheers, Niels.

Hi Niels, you could take a look at this article

I don't really know if the nwll.lua file in there is the same version as is currently deployed in NW 11.x but, you can take a look into it just to give you an idea.

Regards, 

Max

Hi Max,

Thanks, that does give an idea 🙂

Unfortunately it is years old so I'm not sure how accurate it still is. And according to the comments in the code the function (md5sum) I am looking for was once part of this library but got removed?

Does anybody know if a md5sum function is still part of a NW lua library?

I suspect the md5 function was moved to a different lua library. Does anybody know which one?
