[LUA] I don't know what is wrong

I have attempted to create a GUI program but when i call my 'option' function only the first time it will enter store the variable into my table. The other times it doesn't enter nor does it overwrite the original variable in the table.

My program is there and any help as to my problem is much appreciated.

Is it supposed to say hight? It's height

Edit: 2nd line

Thank you, i must have overlooked that, i have updated the code as to make it easier to read and fix the spelling errors. Again, any help as to my problem would be much appreciated.

You call detect() after your write(progs[1], progs[2]) etc. Is that not the problem?

No, I believe the problem is that the first time I run the option function it places 'pos' in the 'progs' table in the 'optno' position (at that time 1) but when it runs again for the second option (optno is now equal to 2) it fails to add the pos to the second position in the table; it fails to add anything to the table as a whole. Is it possible to do what i'm trying (insert into a table using local variables from a function) and if so what am I doing incorrectly. The printing of [1] and [2] from the table is merely there as that is my evidence that the second variable is not being added to the table. The detect function is what causes the error in my program as it cant find a second position in the 'progs' table.

Try declaring the progs table as an empty table and not specifying the position to insert the value in the table.insert call.

I'm still having the problem of the variable 'pos' not being entered in the table. when printing progs[1] and [2] only the first value is shown which leads me to believe that the variable is still not being stored in the table. I tried using an empty table and not specifying the position in the insert call but i'm still having the same problem.

Write only prints the first argument.
