Re: table constructors

["Peter Loveday" <peter@...>]

Try something like this:

  temp = {a={}, b={}}
  temp["a"] = {a = 0, b = 2}
  temp["b"] = {a = 1, b = 0}

Or

  temp = {a={}, b={}}
  temp.a = {a = 0, b = 2}
  temp.b = {a = 1, b = 0}

Or

  temp =
  {
    a = {a = 0, b = 2},
    b = {a = 1, b = 0}
  }
