Created page with "== Calling Pattern == Call local b = sl.tabletolua(a) Args a is a table Results b is a string, compatible with the lua parser == Usage Example == local a = {[3.14] = 0.7071..."

New page

== Calling Pattern ==
Call
local b = sl.tabletolua(a)
Args
a is a table
Results
b is a string, compatible with the lua parser

== Usage Example ==

local a = {[3.14] = 0.7071, [' una ']=1, test='Some "random" string.'}
local b = sl.tabletolua(a)
local c = dostring('return '..b)
print(b,'\013\010')
print(sl.keyvalstr(c))

--> {[" una "] = 1,["test"] = "Some \"random\" string.",[3.14] = 0.7071,}

table keys:values = {
una :1,
test:Some "random" string.,
3.14:0.7071,
}

== Description ==

Encodes a table as a sequence of characters compatible with the lua dostring command. Table keys and values may be composed of boolean,numeric,string, and table types. Does not encode any associated metatables. Uses string.format on string values to ensure proper encoding of escape characters (though may not have desired effect on non-visible control characters).

== Upon Error ==

Tabletolua fails silently. Improper types are encoded as strings of value 'ERROR'. If tabletolua receives no argument or a non-table argument, then '' (an empty string) is returned.
