function GetGuilNumbers()
    numGuildMembers = GetNumGuildMembers();
	for i=1,numGuildMembers do
	name[i], _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _= GetGuildRosterInfo(i);
	end
end

function SetTicketNumberToNil()
	for k,v pairs do
		name[k]=name[v]
	end
end

Does the above set the name table's keys as it's values, and it's values as it's keys,making it look like this:

Keys        Values
name1       1
name2       2
name3       3
.......         ...
.......         ...
nameN       N

Or does it change it to the following

Keys        Values
name1     name1
name2     name2
name3     name3
.......         ...
.......         ...
nameN       nameN

Second question:

local name{}
function GetGuilNumbers()
    numGuildMembers = GetNumGuildMembers();
	for i=1,numGuildMembers do
	name[i], _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _= GetGuildRosterInfo(i);
	end
end

function SetTicketNumberToNil()
	for k,v pairs do
		name[k]=name[v]
		name[v]=0
	end
	for i=1,numguildMembers do
		table.insert(EasierFrameShowing[i],name[i])
end

Will I end up with a table which would look like this:

EasierFrameShowing
      |-Key=1 Value=Name 
                                      | Key = Name[1]  (for example shouryuu)
                                      | Value = Name[1] (should be 0)

Or something else?

The first question is.. what are you trying to accomplish.

The first example looks like you'd get the folllowing:

You have name, which you populate with numerically indexed names of the members in the raid. So if its you and I.. we'd be:

name = {[1] = "Cladhaire", [2] = "Shouryuu"]}

Then your code does something that I'm not understanding. You go through and set the table to the following:

name = {[1] = nil, [2] = nil};

Because name[v] doesn't have a value. if you're looking to make a double-reverse-lookup table, you can use:

function SetTicketNumberToNil()
	for k,v in name do
		name[v]=name[k]
	end
end

But I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. My code would give you:

name = {
[1] = "Cladhaire",
[2] = "Shouryuu",
["Cladhaire"] = 1,
["Shouryuu"] = 2,
};

Hummm ponder ponder... I'll take some time to think about this and hit ya with another question if I fail :P

It more comes down to what you're trying to accomplish =).

[shouryuu]

It's simple enough I want to inverse a table's keys and values. I want the keys to become the values, and the values to become the keys.

Would something along these lines work?

function SetTicketNumberToNil()
	for k,v pairs do
		table.insert(name, name[i], i)
	end
end

This only work, if it does, because the keys are simple: 1,2,3,4,5... But how do I do that if I have keys like zdfs and gkfslg; or djakf?

Second Question

First step, you build the table indexed by raidnumber. All is well and good.

Then you go through and do the same thing as before, setting name[1] and name[2] to nil.
Then you go and set name["Cladhaire"] and name["Shouryuu"] to 0;

The last bit of code makes the following in EasierFrameShowing:

EasierFrameShowing = {[1] = nil, [2] = nil};
