Table FTW??

[Piorun]

I have a question - why this code doesn't works?

  
newTable =  
{ 
"1st value", 
"2nd value" 
} 
  
addCommandHandler("showmetable", getRootElement(), 
function() 
   for i,v in ipairs(newTable) do 
      outputChatBox(tostring(newTable[i])) 
   end 
end) 
  

???

show the error.

EDIT:

i think this is correct:

  
  
      
    newTable = 
    { 
    "1st value", 
    "2nd value" 
    } 
      
    addCommandHandler("showmetable", getRootElement(), 
    function() 
       for i,v in ipairs(newTable) do 
          outputChatBox(tostring(v)) 
       end 
    end)

i tested the code here (with a little edition):

http://www.lua.org/cgi-bin/demo

and it works fine:

newTable = 
{ 
 "1st value", 
 "2nd value" 
 } 
  -- loop from your code works fine (print instead of outputChatBox to run it in demo) 
   for i,v in ipairs(newTable) do 
     print(tostring(newTable[i])) 
   end 
--this also works, I think its better  
   for i,v in ipairs(newTable) do 
     print(v) 
   end

newTable = 
{ 
"1st value", 
"2nd value" 
} 
  
addCommandHandler("showmetable", getRootElement(), 
function() 
   for i,v in ipairs(newTable) do 
      outputChatBox(v) 
   end 
end) 
  

I edited my code and i still have an error. Bad argument in outputChatBox

ah .. i've got an error not in outputChatBox but in addCommandHandler. I fix it but thanks a lot
