Is there a way of loading a table from a module? I am making a dictionary app, and a have a table with all the words in. I want to have this stored in a module, and then require it in when needed. How do I do this? [import]uid: 116264 topic_id: 27788 reply_id: 327788[/import]

There sure is.

Here is an example

–words.lua

local words = {}  
  
--Table to store words  
words.list = {  
 "the", "cow", "sheep"  
}  
  
return words

–Any file.lua

[code]
local words = require(“words”)

print( words.list ) – Prints table
print ( words.list[1] ) – Would print ‘The’
