Loading from Json : Getting nil when # is stored

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

I’m using Rob’s easy save and load in JSON.

I have a table set up as  myData.settings = {} with sub levels: 

myData.settings.levels = {}

myData.settings.levels[1] = {}

  

 in myData.settings.levels[1] I have

myData.settings.levels[1].score and myData.settings.levels[1].stars

in my game, I calculate the “game score” and then I want to compare it to the previously stored score for that level.  The problem I’m having is even when I have a score that is not nil or 0, I’m not able to load the stored score from my table.  I get an error:  Attempt to compare number with nil.

I know the number is in the table because I can visibly see it in my Project Sandbox.

How do I load a number stored in the table to then compare it to my calculated game score?

I appreciate any help - I’ve tried as many options as I can think of.

Thanks

I’m no expert but maybe the problem is using number indexed table/array then key indexed???

have you tried myData.settings.levels[1][1] & myData.settings.levels[1][2]

Thanks.  I’ll give that a try.

If that doesn’t solve your problem, can you copy and paste the relevant portion of the JSON file that gives you the error?
