lua string unpack and string pack

Solar2D Lua Language
#1

Hello all,

Is there “string.unpack” and “string.pack” in Corona, as in the Lua 5.3 language reference manual?

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#pdf-string.unpack

https://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#pdf-string.pack

I cannot seem to find them in Corona Documentation, https://docs.coronalabs.com/api/index.html

If there is not, how to do the equivalent in Corona?

Thanks!

Regards, Luan

short answer:  no, corona uses 5.1 not 5.3

so, need something… perhaps this, or this or this, or more
