lua plugin for typing commands

Hello to everyone,
I was wondering if it is possible to have a plugin which types a command whenever a system start. For example for Oric Atmos to type the command CLOAD"" so that the cassette should start loading immediately. Other examples could be C64 or Spectrum I guess.
Thanks!

Type in
>mame64 -showusage | find "autoboot" (or whatever the unix equivalent is if you're not using windows)

OK,
upon experimentation trying various commands I couldn't get it right after all.
So for oric, my guess is, in order to type CLOAD"" the command should be :
./mame64 orica -autoboot_delay 3 -autoboot_command "cload """"""\n"
but it only types CLOAD then space, then enter.
As stated in commandline options documentation "To issue a quote to the emulation, use “”” in the string".
Am I missing something?
By the way I'm using Linux Mint 18, mame 193.

pretty sure it's \" but it's been a while since I used it.
note, some of the scripting stuff doesn't work on some linux distros with the packages they provide because they decided some library wasn't suitable for their distribution and stripped it out, even if MAME changed to a version of the library that they should be happy with. I think Mint is fine tho.

thanks for answering.
well, I tried
./mame64 orica -autoboot_delay 3 -autoboot_command "cload\"\"\n"
or even
./mame64 orica -autoboot_delay 3 -autoboot_command \"
but still it doesn't register a quote.
on win7
mame64 orica -autoboot_delay 3 -autoboot_command "cload """"""\n"
or
mame64 orica -autoboot_delay 3 -autoboot_command "cload\"\"\n"
also no luck.
any suggestion?

Sorry to bring this up again. Is there any way to register a quote via -autoboot_command?

Downloaded latest nightly for windows as Bad A Billy suggested. Tested the following commands...
mame64.exe c64 -autoboot_delay 6 -autoboot_command "load """$""",8,1\n"
mame64.exe spectrum -autoboot_delay 6 -autoboot_command "load """$""",8,1\n"
mame64.exe orica -autoboot_delay 6 -autoboot_command "load """$""",8,1\n"
Funny thing is the autoboot_command works perfect for c64 and spectrum except for the orica driver!!!!

I made the change yesterday but the newest build on that page is from two days ago. Either compile it yourself or wait for a newer one.

Well as soon as I can compile it on Linux, I'll give it a try. For now the compiler stops giving me
makefile:1247: recipe for target 'linux_x64' failed
make: *** [linux_x64] Error 2
anyway thanks for the fix!

Just built the latest from github. None of the above commands registers a quote. I'm running Linux Mint 18.2. Can anyone else confirm this?

mame64 orica -autoboot_delay 3 -autoboot_command "cload\"\"\n" works fine on linux for me.
