Title: Getting values from tables
Post by: GeceBekcisi on 15 August, 2005, 19:06:49

Which way should I follow to get values from table which has a structure like:

tIPtable = {
	[curUser.sIP] = {
		[curUser.sName] = {
			["Entered"] = "LogInDate",
			["Left"] = "LogOutDate",
		},
	},
}

I need to search for curUser.sIP and if it is found, get curUser.sName, Entered and Left values.

And also, I need to search for curUser.sName and if it is found, get curUser.sIP, Entered and Left values.

Thanks for any help..

example.

Code Select

tIPtable = {
	[curUser.sIP] = {
		[curUser.sName] = {
			["Entered"] = "LogInDate",
			["Left"] = "LogOutDate",
		},
	},
}

if tIPtable[(curUser.sIP)] then
	if tIPtable[(curUser.sIP)][(curUser.sName)] then
		-- known username for the IP.
	else
		-- new username for the IP
	end
else
	-- build new table entry for IP
end

I think you should have entered and left in a different table, since these change more frequently than IP, and is easier to maintain.
