Got this:
Code:

-- pc is just filled with this sorta stuff
pc = [[
==(1) In-Game?
D09E8A04 00300000
Note: This stops FF12 from reporting corrupted save when trying to load
cheats into a game.

==(3) Item/Ability/Gambit IDs
Too long to include here so will create a separate file.

==(4) RAW Codes
Will do final checks before adding list

==(4.1) Max Gil
D09E8A04 00300000
2054C008 05F5E0FF

==(4.2) All Characters
...
function BuildPatchList()
  local text = false
  local code = ""
  local note = ""
  local mr = cet.createMemoryRecord()
  local tmp
  mr.setDescription('Patch Codes')
  pc = pc:gmatch(".*\n")
  -- Reports error here saying pc is a function
  for line,l in pairs(pc) do
    tmp = l:gmatch("%S+")
    if #tmp == 0 then
      if text ~= false then
        Patch(mr,text,code)
      end
      text = false
      code = ""
      note = ""
    elseif text == false then
      text = l
    elseif #l == 17 then
      code = code .. l
      if #tmp == 2 then
        -- Make sure it is a code line
        if #(tmp[1]) == 8 and
          #(tmp[2]) == 8 then
          code = code .. l
          note = ""
        else
          note = note .. l
        end
      else
        note = note .. l
      end
    else
      note = note .. l
    end
  end
end

Placed a comment exactly where the error occurs and I don't understand how to fix it

Quote:
string.gmatch(s, pattern)
s:gmatch(pattern)
This returns a pattern finding iterator. The iterator will search through the string passed looking for instances of the pattern you passed.

> for word in string.gmatch("Hello Lua user", "%a+") do print(word) end
Hello
Lua
user


"gmatch" returns an iterator (function), change your for loop to work with an iterator.

Thanks :)
Helped me fix another problem I didn't even know about, had to make a custom iterator for lines though which erks me because it doesn't treat regexp as the standard indicates
