I have used this library before and it works as advertised :

However, a pure Lua solution is probably what you want and I have not
attempted to do that either. I would think that if you get a string from a
user then run it through some checks to make sure it doesn't have 'if',
'for', 'os.execute', or any other nastyness, prepend "return" to it then
use pcall() to run it that should work. The hard part is getting all the
check rights so you don't have any security holes and the user can't
crash/lock-up your program.

ps. I'll check the controls later tonight when I can get to a MS Win
machine and respond in your other thread.
