and run it a bunch of times:

local names = {}
for i = 1, MAX_RAID_MEMBERS do
    names[i] = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)
end

[knoker]

tyvm, i was just testing

 local name, rank, subgroup, level, class, fileName, zone, online, isDead, role, isML = GetRaidRosterInfo(1);
print(name);

it works

btw another noob question, is there any way to create and array of objects who have 2 vars as atributes?

You can do a matrix:

local x = {}
x[1] = {1, "cat"}
print(x[1][2]) --results in "cat"

Alternatively, if you're looking to store some attribute of raid members, a better way may be to use string-keyed tables:

local names = {}
for i = 1, 40 do
    local name, rank = GetRaidRosterInfo(i)
    names[name] = rank
end

print(names[UnitName("player")]) --results in your own rank in the raid
