| So I am trying to capture a list of items in a store and then store it myself in a table.
I got the capture going, and it now captures 'name' for the item name, 'type' for the item type and 'amount' which is a number of the amount, i.e. name = 'sword', type = 'weapon' and amount = '3'.
I want to add that to an array so I can have this capture all the items in the store into that array, how would I do that?
Also, how can I have it later do something list 'list sword' and it will list everything that matched sword?
THank you. | Top |

| See my post about Lua tables: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=4903
And also: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=6036
Basically you would make a table of tables.
For example:
itemsTable = { } -- make table of all items in store
-- for each item:
newItem = { } -- empty table
newItem.name = 'sword'
newItem.type = 'weapon'
newItem.amount = 3
table.insert (itemsTable, newItem)
newItem = { } -- empty table
newItem.name = 'knife'
newItem.type = 'weapon'
newItem.amount = 4
table.insert (itemsTable, newItem)
require "tprint"
tprint (itemsTable) -- view table
-- look through table:
for k, v in ipairs (itemsTable) do
print ("name =", v.name)
print ("type =", v.type)
print ("amount =", v.amount)
end -- for each item
