Intrinsic 'if' statement

['LinKin]

Hello,

getBoundKeys returns false if no keys are bound to some control name.

So, when it returns false, can I make the following:

table.insert(myTable, "Accelerate", getBoundKeys("accelerate") or "") 

so that it inserts in the second column of "myTable" the empty string ("") ?

local a = false 
a = a or " " 
print ( type (a) )  
--> string 
  

so YES!

Can't have been that hard to test.

... or download the Lua binaries for Windows, which isn't all that heavy.
