Duh. Thanks, Rici.
Funny how web blame a language when we screw up, huh?
I had a printTable() at the end of my loop without the test to make
sure something was in it.
Thanks!

No you don't, unless you are writing mutually recursive local
functions.
However, it appears that the function
executes once as the system runs. I had to put in the statement below
"if tab[1] then" to catch the first run with a nil. Shouldn't the
function only been called when I call it below?
Yes, so I have no idea what you are doing to cause it to run.
I can only imagine what you are doing, but here's an easy sample:
local function printTable(tab)
for i, val in ipairs(tab) do
print(" Token "..i..": "..val)
end
end
-- This just splits the line on whitespace --
local function parseLine(line)
local t = {}
for w in string.gfind(line, "([%S]+)") do
table.insert(t, w)
end
return t
end
-- Test run on this very program
local lineno = 1
for line in io.lines("test.lua") do
local t = parseLine(line)
print("Line "..lineno)
printTable(t)
lineno = lineno + 1
end
-- Partial output (try it yourself):
rlake@freeb:~$ lua test.lua
Line 1
Token 1: local
Token 2: function
Token 3: printTable(tab)
Line 2
Token 1: for
Token 2: i,
Token 3: val
Token 4: in
Token 5: ipairs(tab)
Token 6: do
Line 3
Token 1: print("
Token 2: Token
Token 3: "..i..":
Token 4: "..val)
Line 4
Token 1: end
Line 5
Token 1: end
