- Subject: Lua Tables from 'C'

I am trying to get the value in a table passed to 'C' from lua.
[LUA]
names={car="red", house="brick"}
doit(names)
[C]
static int doit(lua_State *L)
{
char *text;
lua_pushstring(L, "house");
lua_gettable(L, 2) //because the table is at 2 in the stack right?
text=(char *)lua_tostring(L, 1);
}
but for some strange reason, text is NULL. I am assuming that the table
names was passed on the stack as index 1 and then I pushed a string on the
stack, so the table is now index 2, right?? but the string "brick" does not
get pushed onto the stack.
I tried to lua_getglobal before the pushstring to try to get the table, but
I dont know how to getglobal the table that is being sent by lua.
any thoughts?
