Basic lua code question.

Hello dear fellas,

I've got a question on how do I insert these variables into a table and then print the tables content, as with this code that I've got so far it doesn't seem to return anything when I try to print it out.

local channels = {}
table.insert(channels, {id1, name1, id2, name2, ... = GetChannelList()});

print(channels);

Thank you for your time and help in advance.

I'm not sure on this, however I do think printing 'channels' will simply return the table rather than the contents of the table. This should work (although the rest of the code still throws an error):

for i = 1, #channels do
	print(channels[i])
end

afaik, there a different ways to do this, and I think it really depends on what exactly you want to do ..

for i, v in ipairs({GetChannelList()}) do
	print(i, v)
end

local channels = {}

for i = 1, #{GetChannelList()} do
	channels[i] = select(i, GetChannelList())
	print(i, channels[i])
end

local channels = {}

for i = 1, MAX_CHANNEL_BUTTONS do
	tinsert(channels, (select(i, GetChannelList())))
end

for i = 1, #channels do
	print(i, channels[i])
end

local channels = {GetChannelList()}

for i, v in ipairs({channels()}) do
	print(i, v)
end

Now that's an support.
Didn't hope to get a reply this fast.
Thank you very much guys for your help, the right one for me was Kethos 2nd code chunk. Now If I could find where or how to give you guys some honor/respect forum points I'd definitely do it.

Appreciated!

Just want to say. I'm just not sure what you want, so I just posted random stuff :/

You asked to print out a table's contents, Haleth's example is the answer for your question :s
