Hi ,
I am new in lua. i need to set the array in table object.
eg:- [
{
“Name”: “John”,
“Age”: 21
},
{
“Name”: “Maclean”,
“Age”: 26
},
{
“Name”: “Letty”,
“Age”: 28
},
{
“Name”: “Nicole”,
“Age”: 20
}
]
how can i set this array into a table object. Any one can help me out.
I would just go with
local myTable = { {“John”, 21}, {“Maclean”, 26}, {“Letty”, 28}, {“Nicole”, 20} }
myTable[2][2] – outputs 26
RJ5’s solution work but here is another one, depending on what you want to do:
local t = {} t[1] = {} t[1].name = "John" t[1].age = 23 t[2] = {} t[2].name = "Doe" t[2].age = 0 print(t[1].name) print(t[1].age) print(t[2].name) print(t[2].age)
Best regards,

Have a look at this page:

I have a background in C# (which also uses arrays) so switching over to tables was a little bit different but it has some nice stuff.

It might be better to do:
local myTable = { {name=“John”, Age=21}, {name=“Maclean”, Age=26}, {name=“Letty”,Age= 28}, {name=“Nicole”, Age=20} }
Then you have: print(myTable[2].Name) would print Maclean.
Your data appears to be in JSON format so you could use the JSON library to convert it for you:
local json=require(“json”)
local myTable = json.decode(the string that holds your jsondata)
