i am trying to return a table from a function.
for example..

function test(user)
  local uVars = {}
uVars = getVars();
  gData.."\t"..uVars.var1.."\r\n"
return gData;
end

function getVars()
local var = {
var1 = "value",
}
return var;
end

when i try to access the returned value, i get the error:

attempt to concatenate field `var1' (a nil value)

what am i doing wrong?  tia

function test(user)
  local uVars = getVars();
  gData.."\t"..uVars.var1.."\r\n" -- wtf is this???
  return gData;
end

function getVars()
  local var = {
    var1 = "value",
  }
  return var
end
