two dimensional array in lua script

Post by epvhgjy0418 »

Hello. I am using a Lua script (see below) to parse a web site collected by WebParser. Part of that web site source is provided as variable CoronaDataState[1]. I then parse the data to get the values for

Code: Select all

Dates[h][i]
(this example only uses one h-value; the complete code uses more). The values for

Code: Select all

Dates[h][i]

Thanks jsmorley. I have in fact looked through that and many others. To be sure, if I use the Multi-Dimensional Array script on that page, it works fine (I actually modeled mine from that). Somehow, I cannot see the essential difference between that script and mine. There must be something I am missing.

Well, thanks again jsmorley. After re-thinking the code and rearranging one line, I discovered the solution. I appreciate you forcing me to think about the problem. Best wishes.

Oh, GREAT!

And I was just getting ready to take a look at it... ;-)

Just kidding, I'm kinda tied up today, and probably wouldn't have been able to get to it til tomorrow. Glad you got it working!
