[Lua][Question] Array's and Tables

Hello sorry if this has been answered or something else (link me or something if it answeres ALL my questions(not many)

thanks in advance

Mattzz

NO just no i want the cc commands im already on the 5.1 manual and i dont get it, thats why i posted. also i hate lmgtfy :D/>/>

EDIT: by command i mean functions >.>

OH NO you read that >.>

can this post (not thread) get a delete please?

okay, i actually had some trouble pasting commands :D/>/>

basically table=array
commands:
table.insert(table,[pos],value) pos default is last element
table.remove(table, [pos]) pos default is last element
table.sort(table)
table.concat(table,[sep]) idk if this works

for quick iteration you can also use pairs(table) which is used like:
for i,j in pairs(table) do
print("Line #"..i..":"..j)
end

you get/set the value of a specific field by table[fieldname] where fieldname is usually (but not always :)/>/> ) a number, e.g. t[1]="abc"

that is about it. Do you want to know something more specific?

BTW, I'm not that awesome, there are many others better than me.

BS, stop being so modest :D/>/>

Most thing needed is:

arr={}                   -- arr becomes a table
i=5
arr[i]=val              -- arr got a field 5 with value val
arr["black"] == arr.black  -- it is just the same

p.s. someone should definitely repair this post form :D/>/>

I don't get it, how do you mean "most thing needed"? The code you typed is already possible.
And what do you mean with repairing "post form"? :D/>/>

Thanks Everyone for all your help. I'm going to look through some code and that should help.
Thanks

Hmm, I don't have any problem with it. I think that might depend on what browser you use and if you've enabled JavaScript for this forum.
