- Wed Apr 29, 2015 7:14 am #16006 The API has an example as follows:

Code: Select all file.open("hello.lua","w+")
  file.writeline([[print("hello nodemcu")]])
  file.writeline([[print(node.heap())]])
  file.close()

  node.compile("hello.lua")
  dofile("hello.lua")
  dofile("hello.lc")

So what's the difference between dofile("..lua") and dofile("...lc")? What benefits are there running bytecode?

Thanks

list the content of the file system.

You should see that the lc version typically smaller for real modules.

- Wed Apr 29, 2015 10:08 am #16017 I see. I've tried listing with

Code: Select all =file.list()[0]

, but I get nil. Does that mean that there's no file on my flash?

Thanks

I never user file listing on the repl-level.
I use it from "esplorer".
