dynamic name for a table - CristianAgata - 21.12.2025
Good morning,
I need a suggest how do this:
I would like create some tables but the names must be dynamic, I will try to explain better with an example.
my_table = {}
for i = 1, 10,1 do
(here i need to create 10 new tables)
end
the result I would like have could be this
my_table_1, my_table_2, my_table_3,... my_table_10.
I wish to explain myself.

Create a table with tables inside of each key

Thanks admin,
Could be a solution, sorry but I'm a little bit confused ?.
Can you share an example?

Code:
t = {}
for i = 1, 10 do
t[ i ] = {}
end
log(t[ 2 ])RE: dynamic name for a table - CristianAgata - 21.12.2025

Thanks but I don't explain myself very well, this my situation:
I have
name = {'Tv_1','Tv_2','Tv_3'}
number_entry = 3
entry = {[1] = {['component'] = 'switch'}, [2] = {['component'] = 'audioVolume'}, [3] = {['component'] = 'audioMute'}}
result must be a table as this:
new = {{[Tv_1] = {['component'] = 'switch',['component'] = 'audioVolume',['component'] = 'audioMute'}, [Tv_2] = {['component'] = 'switch',['component'] = 'audioVolume',['component'] = 'audioMute'}, [Tv_3] = {['component'] = 'switch',['component'] = 'audioVolume',['component'] = 'audioMute'}}
in this way in a second part of script when I will call
object = new.Tv_1[1] I will give switch
Best regards Cristian

log(new_t['Tv_1'][1][1])RE: dynamic name for a table - admin - 23.12.2025
If you get the result you want then it's fine. Not sure if you need another table (new_t['Tv_1'][1][1]), it might be enough just to do this:
Code:
for _,value in ipairs(name) do
new_t[value] = entry
end
log(new_t['Tv_1'][1])
