RE: Variable frankenstein

["Ram Firestone" <bichir@...>]

Hmmmmm? Well, you seem to be confusing strings with tables. I'm not sure what you are trying to do or exactly what your application
is. I mean assuming sensor was a table you can use constructs like:

sensor.large = ....

or 

suffix = "large"
sensor[suffix] = ...


However I would suggest you get a copy of "Programming in Lua" and read though that. It should have the answers you are looking for.
