RE: tables as array : little confirmation

Hello,

Yes I am sorry, I forgot the "k". Here is the right code :
----------------------------------------
iterator = 0
basic_table ={k={},v={}}
str

for x = 0,5 do
iterator = iterator + 1

basic_table["k"][iterator] = iterator + 100

end

str = table.concat(basic_table,",")
--------------------

So, According to your answers, I think it is ok.

Many thanks !
