gollark: A file input's value attribute contains a DOMString that represents the path to the selected file(s). If the user selected multiple files, the value represents the first file in the list of files they selected. The other files can be identified using the input's HTMLInputElement.files property.
gollark: Yep, that's right, some of my code actually obeys some law or other.
gollark: Oh, and in potatOS Lua you can *also* do: `(1 / " ") * string`
gollark: So you can do roughly the same things fairly easily.
gollark: Lua, sadly, doesn't have string split built in, but does have a ton of weird regexy string manipulation functions builtin.
