Table = {}
Name = "some"
Table.? = "something"

My goal is that at Table.some store "something"
I tried that
Table.(Name) = "something"
But it still doesn't worked

Code: Select all

 
basic="search" 
tutorials={} 
tutorials[basic]=1
print (tutorials.search)

Doesn't seem to quite work
When i try to print,it give me an error(nil value)like it actually don't put any value in the table

It prints 1 correctly. Check your setup.

Let's make a function for it!
Now you can use it as

Code: Select all

local function insertKeyValue (tabl, key, value)
  tabl[key] = value
end

Now you can use it as

Code: Select all

tutorials={}
basic = "search"
n = 1
insertKeyValue (tutorials, basic, n)

print(tutorials.search) -- prints 1

That work! Its weird that it don't work in code but that the function work

Right: Wrong:
