Displaying table values?!?

[Durnus]

Tables/arrays are really confusing... I wish LUA would just use the normal way of doing it.

Well, I've got this:

for i,v in pairs(ordersN) do 
        if (type(i) == "number") then
            i = tostring(i)
        elseif (type(i) == "boolean") then
            if (i) then
                i = "true"
            else
                i = "false"
            end
        end
        DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(i.." : "..v)
    end

And it gets that array fine. But, how would I get the SAME index variable in another array? Lets say I have ordersP, and I want it to display:

0 : PlayerName : ValueP

How would I do this?

(Plus, is there any way to use arrays as they should be used? As in, being able to simply find their length and use ordersP[50] to access the 50th space?)

Thanks!

DevTools will let you print the contents of a table.

Not sure about what you're asking with the rest of your post - you can certainly use tables as arrays and use numbers as indices...

I haven't looked at the code of DevTools, but I assume it calls itself recursively on any nested tables, while keeping a list of tables already visited (lest self referential tables cause an endless loop).
