table = table or {}
if table["%1"] and not table["%2"] then
EnableTimer("timer",true)
end
The above format will work if I try to send a command rather than enable something...but how can I use a table match to enable another timer or trigger? | Top |

| You're right. That wasn't the problem..
In another part of the script I have the same thing with the variables reversed, and it does not work.
example here:
table = table or {}
if table["%2"] and not table["%1"] then
EnableTimer("timer",true)
end
Shouldn't the above work too? | Top |

| Yes it should. I would point out that "table" is a Lua table of functions. See:
http://www.gammon.com.au/scripts/doc.php?general=lua_tables
Thus, using "table" as the name of your table might cause confusion.
In code like this:
if table["%2"] and not table["%1"] then
EnableTimer("timer",true)
end
I would point in some debugging code.
For example:
print ("%%1 is '%1', %%2 is '%2'")
if table["%2"] and not table["%1"] then
print ("enabling timer")
EnableTimer("timer",true)
else
print ("test failed")
end
This shows that you are executing the code in the first place, and whether the test fails or not. |

| Thanks for the response. I didn't actually use table as the name of the table, only in the example. The code did work on someone else's mushclient.....and our settings were set the same as far as I could tell. I'll see if I can get anything out of the debugging code but I'm confused as to what is happening. | Top |

| here's what the debugging code is telling me:
The %1 is correct, the %2 is correct... but it's still failing.
It fires only if the code reads ["%1"] before ["%2"]. | Top |

| Well, do you ever clear out the items from the table? |
