Re: _G function inside table

SORRY FOR THE DUPLICATE, I FORGOT TO CHANGE THE SUBJECT.

Thanks! You've been very helpful. Now, I'd like to know how to do the
same, but with a colon operator. The thing is that I'm doing a working
days calendar's script with lua and IUP, and I want to automate the
creation of days. The piece of code is this:


-------------------------------Begin Of Code---------------------------------
function addnewday(name)
       _G['chk'..name] = iup.toggle {title = name}
       _G['txtFrom'..name] = iup.text {spin = 'yes', active = 'no', size =
'40', spinmax = '24', spinmin = '1', spinvalue = '12' }
       _G['txtTo'..name] = iup.text {spin = 'yes', active = 'no', size =
'40', spinmax = '24', spinmin = '1', spinvalue = '12' }
       _G['frm'..name] = iup.frame {
                                                               iup.vbox {

        _G['chk'..name],

        iup.hbox{iup.label {title = 'From'}, _G['txtFrom'..name]},

        iup.hbox{iup.label {title = To'}, _G['txtTo'..name]}
                                                                               }
                                                               }
       table.insert(listOfDays, _G['frm'..name])
       _G['chk'..name..':action']= function (a)
               print ('a')
               _G['txtFrom'..name..'.active'] = 'yes'
               _G['txtTo'..name..'.active'] = 'yes'
       end
end

addnewday('Monday')
addnewday('Tuesday')
addnewday('Wednesday')
addnewday('Thursday')
addnewday('Friday')
addnewday('Saturday')
addnewday('Sunday')

-------------------------------End Of Code---------------------------------

The function " 'chk'..name..':action' " is never called whenever I
check any of the toggle controls, so I think it' s a problem with the
name of it.
