X=123
Y=321
TAB1={}
z=1
for n in pairs(_ENV) do
TAB1[z] = n
z=z 1
end
-- did some more steps that removes general _ENV and only left with my script global variables
TAB2={x, y}
print(TAB2[1])
what I want is "123" but I'm getting "x"
I've tried gmatch, gsub, tostring, but I still can't get it to print the value of x (123). it's only printing "x"

These functions are for string manipulation so I don't see how they'd be useful here. The reason for the lack of "value" is that your loop is for n in pairs(_ENV) do
. pairs
is just a wrapper for next
which returns key
and value
, but you're currently discarding the value. Simply add a second variable to the for name list: for name, value in pairs(_ENV) do print(value) end
. Alternatively, index _ENV
using n
: print(_ENV[n])
(inside the loop).
