setClipboard Table

[.:HyPeX:.]

Hello guys, i want to set to clipboard the function getCameraMatrix, but i want to make it in separate lines each value, but dont know how.

Like if i do ctrl+v and get this:

  
X: ETC 
Y: ETC 
Z: ETC 
LX: ETC 
LY: ETC 
LZ: ETC 
  

So far i have this, but cant do anything about it.. i cant output a table thought

  
function GetCameraPos(thePlayer,cmd) 
local X, Y, Z, LX, LY, LZ = getCameraMatrix () 
outputConsole("X:"..X) 
outputConsole("Y:"..Y) 
outputConsole("Z:"..Z) 
outputConsole("LX:"..LX) 
outputConsole("LY:"..LY) 
outputConsole("LZ:"..LZ) 
local tableCreate = {} 
tableCreate.X = "X:"..X 
tableCreate.Y = "Y:"..Y 
tableCreate.Z = "Z:"..Z 
tableCreate.LX = "LX:"..LX 
tableCreate.LY = "LY:"..LY 
tableCreate.LZ = "LZ:"..LZ 
setClipboard("".. tableCreate .."") 
end 
addCommandHandler("camera", GetCameraPos, false,false) 
  
  

Thanks

This is what you need, pretty much.

local array = { 
    hi = "hello", 
    water = "drink", 
    "123456", 
    1833 
} 
  
function splitArrayIntoLines( _array ) 
    if ( type( _array ) ~= "table" ) then return "" end 
    local splitted = "" 
    for i,v in pairs( _array ) do 
        splitted = splitted .. "\r\n" .. i .. ": " .. v 
    end 
    return splitted 
end 
  
addCommandHandler( "clipboard", 
    function( ) 
        if ( array ) and ( type( array ) == "table" ) then 
            local theReturn = splitArrayIntoLines( array ) 
            setClipboard( theReturn ) 
            outputConsole( theReturn ) 
        end 
    end 
) 

This returns the following:

1: 123456 
2: 1833 
water: drink 
hi: hello

Thanks! this should work pretty much.

EDIT: Somehow im getting this:

  
function GetCameraPos(thePlayer,cmd) 
local X, Y, Z, LX, LY, LZ = getCameraMatrix () 
outputConsole("X: "..X) 
outputConsole("Y: "..Y) 
outputConsole("Z: "..Z) 
outputConsole("LX: "..LX) 
outputConsole("LY: "..LY) 
outputConsole("LZ: "..LZ) 
local tableCreate = {} 
tableCreate.X = "X: "..X 
tableCreate.Y = "Y: "..Y 
tableCreate.Z = "Z: "..Z 
tableCreate.LX = "LX: "..LX 
tableCreate.LY = "LY: "..LY 
tableCreate.LZ = "LZ: "..LZ 
local text = splitArrayIntoLines( tableCreate ) 
setClipboard(text) 
end 
addCommandHandler("camera", GetCameraPos, false,false) 
  
function splitArrayIntoLines( array ) 
    if ( type( array ) ~= "table" ) then return "" end 
    local splitted = "" 
    for i,v in pairs( array ) do 
        splitted = splitted .. "\r\n" .. i .. ": " .. v 
    end 
    return splitted 
end 
  

Output:

  
LX: LX: 2483 
X: X: 2483 
LZ: LZ: 21 
Z: Z: 21 
LY: LY: -1566 
Y: Y: -1666

That's because the array value contains the key, that's why it duplicates itself. The function automatically sets the key first and then the value after it.

tableCreate.X = "X: "..X 
-- Should be 
tableCreate.X = X 

EDIT: Ah, I understand what went wrong there. It's because it sorts it by the value (max > min). Try this. The only problem with this is that it formats the array alphabetically, which causes lx-lz to become the first ones in the output.

local array = { 
    x = 1, 
    y = 2, 
    z = 3, 
    lx = 1, 
    ly = 2, 
    lz = 3 
} 
  
function splitArrayIntoLines( _array ) 
    if ( type( _array ) ~= "table" ) then return "" end 
    local splitted = "" 
    local formed = { } 
     
    for i,v in pairs( _array ) do 
        formed[ #formed + 1 ] = i .. ": " .. v 
    end 
     
    table.sort( formed, function( a, b ) return a < b end ) 
     
    for i,v in pairs( formed ) do 
        splitted = splitted .. "\r\n" .. v 
    end 
     
    return splitted 
end 
  
addCommandHandler( "clipboard", 
    function( ) 
        if ( array ) and ( type( array ) == "table" ) then 
            local theReturn = splitArrayIntoLines( array ) 
            setClipboard( theReturn ) 
            outputConsole( theReturn ) 
        end 
    end 
)

i dont really care about that, i just wanted to have it on clipboard for script with onCameraMatrix faster

Anyways,found out myself that was the problem, still thanks for the help.
