test if for loop has ended

Basically, I want a line of code to be executed once a for loop has finally ended. My for loop is designed to search a table and satisfy an if statement:

local list={ [1] = "string1", [2] = "string2"}
local string
for key,value in pairs(list) do
if string == value then
–blah,blah,blah
end
end

–part that is supposed to execute code once the for loop is completed

What is the issue you're having? Your code is correct, logically, are you wanting to finish the loop once the if statement is satisfied?

You do have two issues:
- Your if statement will never fire because the 'string' variable has no value in it.
- You may experience issues because your variable is named 'string' which is an API within Lua, consider renaming it.

I ended up figuring out what I needed to do. I just needed to put the code I wanted to execute after the for loop's "end". Making that code execute, once the for loop is complete. I should have figured this out on my own. I guess it is late, and my brain is shutting down.
