If you write each script as a module

ie

local function run(args)

--do the calculation

--don't affect globals

end

return run

and then compile your scripts like this:

void addscript(lua_State *l, string name, string script) {

luaL_loadstring(l, script.c_str());

lua_pcall(l, 0, 1, 0);

lua_setglobal(l, name.c_str());

}

Then you have a global function for each script's run and you can do a lua_getglobal followed by a lua_call/lua_pcall to run it.

Thanks,
