[Solved] [Air200] How to write a temperature string to an array in Lua on Air200?

Welcome!

In a lua script I have a function stop() that reads the temperature from the DS3231. The temperature is returned in the form
.
I want to save the above string to an array to call (use) it in another function. How can this be done?

I confess I have been meditating for nearly an hour now on the revealing name of the function.
Until you specify what it's all about and give the code, I'm at your service with documentation:
https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#3.2

I am already explaining.
I have connected a DS3231 to the Air200 gsm module from which I read the temperature via I2C. The temperature reading is realised by a function.
.

Calling the above function in the script returns the read temperature as (console preview).

.

I want to send the read temperature string by sms. A function is used to send sms messages.
.

The problem is that if I make a notation
.
then the temperature text message is not sent.

However, if I assign the value "test" to the variable "a"
.
then the sms is sent with the message "test".

So I thought of storing the temperature read from the stop() function into an array, and then reading it in the function that sends the sms message. E.g.
.

The whole script looks like this.

.

First of all, in the description you state that stop() RETURNS .... well, it doesn't return anything (it just prints), only after this correction.
The two dots are the string concatenation (concatenation) operator. I won't swear that I transferred your expression perfectly, I tried.

See if it gets you closer to the result (not tested in the real world)

After your fix, the sms with the temperature reading is sent in the format as above. Thank you for your help .

Let me ask you about another case with which I have a problem.

Example I. - works fine.

In the script there is a function time() which sends a command ril.request("AT+CCLK?") , and in response I get +CCLK: "12/06/01,10:15:45-00" .

.

Example II. - works correctly.

In this case, the command ril.request("AT+CCLK?") is assigned to the variable "a" and sent to the module by the function print(a) . The module response is +CCLK: "12/06/01,10:40:38-00" .

.

Example III. - does not work correctly.

In this example I used the function io.write(a, "a" ) , which sends to the module the string assigned to the variable "a" . As can be seen below the string ril.request("AT+CCLK?") is printed, but the module does not return a response +CCLK: with date and time.

I don't know what you expected from this code. A string is the ONLY string.
As if you wrote io.write "flightNaMarsa()" it would not print the flight report.

You could speculate that you confused what's inside the string and what's outside, but you've put in too much work for a case of .... i don't understand
Added after 3 [minutes]:
Trying to guess what you might have meant.
Even the electrode syntax window shows what is inside the string and what is outside.

Good point. I now know where I made the mistake. Thanks for your help.
