Solved print a number of a table

[Mjmackan]

How would you procceed in order to print one of the desired numbers in the '['-brackets without using the number inside?

local charmStats = {
    [13508] = {sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}},
    [24322] = {sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}},
    [5810] = {sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}},
    [32914] = {sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+2%", "+3%"}},
}

In a table like this:
local charmStats = {3,4,5,2,1,4,6,8,2,5,8,9,12,5,2}
you can simply print(charmStats[3]), I want same functioning but in the upper table.

Solved with this lil line:

for _ in pairs(charmStats) do
    print(_)
end

local charmStats = {
    [1] = {key = 13508, sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}},
    [2] = {key = 24322, sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}},
    [3] = {key = 5810, sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}},
    [4] = {key = 32914, sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+2%", "+3%"}},
}

charmStats[1].key

If you need to keep the table as associative, then you could so something like:

local charmStats = {
    [13508] = {sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}, index = 1},
    [24322] = {sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}, index = 2},
    [5810] = {sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+250", "+350"}, index = 3},
    [32914] = {sockets = 2, statType = {"HP", "MP"}, statAmount = {"+2%", "+3%"}, index = 4},
}

local index = {}
for k, v in pairs(charmStats) do
     index[v.index] = k
end

print(charmStats[index[1]])
