Convert a string to table without changing the order of the items

[Hendrik Meiring <hmeiring@...>]

Hi,

 

I have string data with the format as shown below:

 

{{

["vvector"]="(0, 1, 0)",

["uvector"]="(1, 0, 0)",

["origin"]="(0, 0, 0)",

},

}

 

I need to convert this to a table but the order of the data must stay the same.

Using the following code:

 

local gentables = loadstring("return "..s)

local tables = assert(gentables)()

 

generates a table as shown below:

 

[1][+]

   [origin] (0, 0, 0)

   [uvector] (1, 0, 0)

   [vvector] (0, 1, 0)

 

Any quick solution for me?

 

Regards

Hendrik
