Passing table as vararg ( newbie question )

[Colm Sloan <colmsloan@...>]

I just want to get access to var2 and var3.

Foo ( var1, 

{ var2, "var3" }

)

function Foo( firstvar, ... )

local v1, v2 = ... -- says that v1 (var2) is a table :(

-- test to see how deep this table goes

-- causes infinite loop

local table1 = ...

while ( type( table1 ) == "table" ) do

local x, y = table1

table1 = x 

print( "\nanother table" )

end

end

What's going on here? Why can't I access var2 and var3? I'm sure I'm making some simple mistake. I tried {{table1}} but that made no difference. Any ideas?
