Table inside table

["Imagine Mailing Lists" <mailing_lists@...>]

Hey everyone, I'm quite new to PBapi for Lua (structure is the same as in the C api)

I've been struggling for ages to push a table on the stack and fill it with data... this is what i've got

 

lua_newtable(*lua)

 

lua_pushstring(*lua, "NodeName")

lua_pushstring(*lua, "Nodevalue")

lua_settable(*lua, -3)

 

So inserting strings, booleans and numbers into a nummerically index, or name indexed table is getting along nice.

But now I'd like to insert a table in a node, and I'm completely lost here.

 

This is the Purebasic syntax

 

ProcedureC Somefunction(*lua)

    lua_newtable(*lua)

    For i=1 to 20

        lua_pushnumber(*lua, i)

        lua_pushstring(*lua, "Nodevalue")

        lua_settable(*lua, -3)

    next

EndProcedure

 

Instead of pushing a string, i'd like to push a table in that index. How would I do that? (even the filling must be done in that moment)

 

Thanks,

Bas
