Tables - two questions.

[sacr1ficez]

Hey, today a problem appeared, i need to do something but i don't know how i can solve it.

1. How can i get text length of everything what's in the table.

2. If length atleast of one value from table will be >= 25 then do something for everything.

Code:
 

local textTable = 
{
	"abcdefghijklmnopqrstu", -- 21 
	"abcdefghijklmnopqrstu123", -- 24 
	"abcdefghijklmnopqrstu124", -- 25
}

addEventHandler("onClientRender", getRootElement(), function()
	if getPedOccupiedVehicle(getLocalPlayer()) then return end
	for k, v in pairs(textTable) do
		dxDrawingColorTextMenuScroll(v, 6, 350 + k * boxSpace, 6, 350 + (k + 1) * boxSpace, tocolor(255, 255, 255, 255), 170, 1, "sans", "left", "center")
		if string.len(v) >= 25 then -- problem is here, this works only for the value which have text >= 25
		-- do something for everything in table
	else
		-- otherwise
	end
end
end)

I think your code is correct, but you missed one string

I really didn't understand what your issue is. What exactly do you want to do in the scope at line 12?

I need to get length of all values from table. If atleast one value text length it's >= 25 then i need to do something. Sorry i can't explain it better for now.

I think I understood it now.

• Getting the length of all values from table:

local totalLength = 0
for _,s in ipairs(textTable) do
	totalLength = totalLength + s:len()
end
print( totalLength )

• Checking if at least one value is >= than 25:

local textTable = { "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu123", "abcdefghijklmnopqrstu124", }

local lengthsGreaterThan25 = 0
for _,s in ipairs(textTable) do
	if s:len() >= 25 then
		lengthsGreaterThan25 = lengthsGreaterThan25 + 1
	end
end

print( lengthsGreaterThan25 )
