Detect specific blocks?

I'm fairly sure there isn't at this point.

I wanted to implement a program so that when a block is mined, it will send the item id to the home computer via rednet (i changed the config so i have huge range) and updates the block mined on the monitor. Fairly simple coding for the messages, but if we could detect specific blocks, how would i implement the translation from ID to name? using arrays?

I noticed that in the MagicTurtle code they had this in the beginnning:

local blockIDs = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129}

So i couldn't figure out what this is used for. Is it for cross referencing item ids with names?

In summary:
Can I detect specific blocks?
If so:
Can I translate item ID's to names without making like 20 variables for all the ores? (i'm using tekkit)
If so:
Would it be productive to use arrays for this?
If so:
How?

by putting all of those blocks into the blockNames table, you can automatically reference it by its position in the table, so the blockID table is irrelevant

You can't detect block ids, you can only compare with the blocks in the turtle inventory.

tesla - so do you have any idea what he's using that for?

Mystic - Thanks.

EDIT: I can use ccSensors to detect stuff deposited into the inventory :)/>/>

he's using two tables to do the work of one.
