Is there a function for recover the index(key) of a table, instead "loops" ?

Hi, Is there a function for recover the index(key) of a table, instead "loops" ?

Exemple :

	Sett = {}

	Sett.Tfunctions = {
	
		first = function() print( "test" ) end,
		
		second = function() print( "lol" ) end
	
	}

How to recover "first" and "second" index.

[lua]-- You can call those functions one of two ways:

-- 1. Use strings
Sett.Tfunctions["first"]()
Sett.Tfunctions["second"]()

-- 2. Use the name itself
Sett.Tfunctions.first()
Sett.Tfunctions.second()
[/lua]

You have to remember that in Lua tables, when you assign a value to a specific key that is not in [brackets], you can refer to it by name or by a string.

Ok, but I express myself badly, on loops :

	for k,v in pairs(Sett.Tfunctions) do
	
		print(k) //<- I want to recover 'k'
	
	end

But I don't want to use loops for my little script, it's for that I am looking for a simply function, if it exsits.

If the table's dynamic, though?

Unfortunately a loop is the only way to do what I think you want to do.
