Create table within another table

[Erwin van der Zwart]

Hi,

That is rather easy to do:

mytable = { mysecondtable = { mythirttable = { final = 'end' } } }

Code:

--or add afterwards

mytable = {}
mytable.mysecondtable = {}
mytable.mysecondtable.mythirttable = {}
mytable.mysecondtable.mythirttable.final = 'end'

log(mytable)

Sample:

Code:

profiles = {
  climate = {
    mode = 'comfort',
    temperature = 21.3,
    fanmode = 1
  },
  occupation = {
    unoccupied = {
        cool = 25,
        heat = 18
    },
    occupied = {
      cool = 25,
        heat = 18
    }
  },
  curtain = {
    runtime = 90,
    closed = {
      hour = 17,
      min = 45
    },
    opened = {
      hour = 7,
      min = 30
    }
  },
  reserved = 'not used yet'
}

log(profiles)
log(profiles.climate)
log(profiles.curtain.runtime)
