Iv been tring to do this for some time now and i cant seem to find how to do it in any lua libs. or anything. i want to call strings from a table thats in a table

Code:

TB1 = {};

TB1[1] = {
    "I want to call this",
    "Or this",
    "Or even this"
};

and im trying to call it from this..

Code:

local Des1 = getglobal("Form".."Des1Label".."Label");
Des1:SetText(TB1.TB1[1].Key);

any help would be great thanks...

I had the some issues with tables when writing rFilter2. This is what worked for me:

Code:
http://rothui.googlecode.com/svn/tru...2/rFilter2.lua

Code:

    rf2_spell_list = {
      buffs = {
        [1] = { tag = "battle", spellid = 2048, unit = "player", size = 32, fontsize = 24, posx = 0, posy = 0, framestrata = "BACKGROUND", anchor = "UIParent"},
        [2] = { tag = "commanding", spellid = 469, unit = "player", size = 32, fontsize = 24, posx = 40, posy = 0, framestrata = "BACKGROUND", anchor = "UIParent"},
      },

Code:

      for index,value in ipairs(rf2_spell_list.buffs) do 
        local string = rf2_spell_list.buffs[index]
        addon:rf2_create_icon(string.spellid,"rf2_"..string.tag,string.size,string.fontsize,string.posx,string.posy,string.framestrata,string.anchor)
      end

Hope this is what you are looking for.

this seems like a very useful question/answer for general wow lua, so why is it posted in a forum dedicated to a project that died 2 years ago?

oh, I presume your "Moving to Lua help" failed, one way or another.

The project didn't die 2 years ago, it just hasn't seen much activity. There have been several updates to it, including one yesterday.

o,rly?

so where is the download link maintained?
wowuides.wowinterface.com no longer works.

EDIT: ok I found it, should be added to the faq here or something
