Re: String algorithm

["Mark Meijer" <meijer78@...>]

Yes, I just rediscovered that it's implemented in table.concat (thanks 
Steffen). I learned about lua somewhere in 2004 or 2005, so I must have read 
about that algorithm in PiL before, I read that book from start to finish at 
that time. I guess I had forgotten about this particular chapter.

In any case thanks again for all your reactions :)
