Dynamic table creation

[Jimmie Houchin <jhouchin@...>]

Hello,

I am parsing XML data using LuaExpat.

I am wanting to traverse the lxp.lom.parse() tables and recreate the 
objects using the string from the tag as the name of the new table.

So basically how do I do something like:

'TableName' = {}

and be valid Lua?

I guess basically it this, how can I make a string become the name of 
the variable?

If this is an FAQ my apologies. I did not find it in my search.

Any help greatly appreciated.
