Solved Problem with string/table...

[Dantarrix]

Well, I'm getting a value from XML:

"{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}"

I want to have it as a table like this:

{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

How can I do that?
How can I delete those symbols? (" ")

Im getting it with a string:match...

Thank you...

Sorry for bad english...

You want to get that string and turn it into an actual table with integer values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5?
If so, here's what I managed to do: http://codepad.org/8Sb0rSU8

stringInput = "{1,2,3,4,5}"

t = {}

for i = 1, 5 do
table.insert(t,string.match(stringInput, "%d+", i+i))
end

for i = 1, 5 do
print(t[i])
end

I understand the length of the for loop is pre-defined, I just can't think of a way how I could get the number of integers in a string.
I tried using this:

string.gsub("{1,2,3,4,5}","%d", function(d) return string.len(d) end)

Here is what the output looks like: http://codepad.org/wDnm1xxS
I'm not sure if that is what you're looking for.

Not sure about this (I never tried), but i think you can use something like this

local input = "{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}"
local table = loadstring(input)

for i = 1, #table do
	print(table[i])
end

Almost, it should be used like this in this case:

local input = "{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}"
local table = loadstring("return " .. input)()
 
for i = 1, #table do
	print(table[i])
end

This one is working

	local input = "{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}"
	local t = "local table = " .. input .. " return table"
	local a = loadstring(t)
	for i = 1, #a() do
		print(a()[i])
	end

	local t = "local table = " .. input .. " return table"
	local a = loadstring(t)
	for i = 1, #a() do
		print(a()[i])
	end

Summs is just more organized, you could always do local table like he did.
