Sorry maybe i  wasn't clear ... i'm having problem accesing it from 
my "c" program.  Here is my code snipit:

const char *LuaGetTable(char *item)
{
  lua_pushstring(S, item);
  lua_gettable(S, -2);
  if (lua_isstring(pLS, -1))
  {
    return lua_tostring(pLS, -1);
  }
  return 0;
}

.
.
.

  lua_getglobal(S, "t");
  if (lua_istable(S, -1))
  {
    do
    {
      printf("t.f = %s", LuaGetTable("f"));
      printf("t.s = %s", LuaGetTable("s"));
    } while (lua_isstring(S, -1));
  }



Thanks in advance.
