Concatenate a variable name

['LinKin]

So I've these variables:

num1 acc1 top1

num2 acc2 top2

num3 acc3 top3

num4 acc4 top4

num5 acc5 top5

num6 acc6 top6

Those are GUI Labels.

In the client, I recieve a table containing info about tops, so I want to set these GUI text to the values that the table brings. But how? I tried this. But it shows an error in the debug attempt to concatenate global 'num' (a nil value)

for i = 1, #returnTable do 
        guiSetText(num..i , returnTable[i][1]) 
        guiSetText(acc..i , returnTable[i][2]) 
        guiSetText(top..i , returnTable[i][3]) 
end 

Do you understand what I'm trying to do?

- Suggestions please.

You got variables like this?

num1 = guiCreateLabel ( ) 

if so, then that'll never work, use tables.

No need to be a pro scripter to say you should use a table.

Btw to answer your question, you can use loadstring. But it needs a lot of computer/server resources (relativly with a code which would use tables):

for i = 1, #returnTable do 
    loadstring("guiSetText(num"..i..", returnTable[i][1])")() 
    loadstring("guiSetText(acc"..i..", returnTable[i][2])")() 
    loadstring("guiSetText(top"..i..", returnTable[i][3])")() 
end
