Is there a way to view/print all existing variables held in memory to console?

Hiya,

I just wondered, is there a way to print out a report of all variables that exist, at any given moment, and what their content is. 

Is there a way to do this?

I can print specific variables that I explicitly know of, but I want to see if there are variables existing that shouldn’t.

Thanks

These sort of questions would be better asked from Google since the very first link yields an answer from Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2834579/print-all-local-variables-accessible-to-the-current-scope-in-lua

Hi,

Thanks… i didn’t know what term to do a search on.
But based on your post I also found this: https://docs.coronalabs.com/tutorial/basics/globals/index.html

It actually lists how to do so. My bad! 

Thanks

Angela

That tutorial shows you how to print the global variables. You however also want all of the local variables. XeduR’s Stack Overflow post has that covered.
