Strange error in a register function

[connorclockwise]

Alright so let me just pull up ye olde code.

[Lua]local item = {} --define a local table that we can use to --later define in a stored table...not here.
item.className = "rimm_357" --class name to use as a key for the table mentioned earlier
item.modelPath = "blahblahblah" --357 model path

registerNewItem( item ) --register the item so it stays in the --stored item table for later use

itemTable = {} --create an item table to store item data in

function registerNewItem( item )
itemTable[item.className] = item --store our local
end --tables containing variables for our items by classname

for k, v in ipairs (itemTable["rimm_357"]) do --loop through the
print(k) --table of rimm_357 and print it's keys.
end[/Lua]

And I'm using lua edit to compile and run my program, and I get the error of "string(0)". The comments should be pretty self explanatory of what I was trying to accomplish. Help would be much appreciated.

Use pairs, not ipairs. ipairs is for iteration over numerically indexed tables.

[connorclockwise]

Alright, it's still broken, I hope your as fast as your first post.

Edit: Still getting same error, but ipairs changed to pairs.

Just tested code on [url=http://www.lua.org/cgi-bin/demo]this[/url] and it worked fine (I needed to define the registerNewItem function before it was called, maybe this is the problem?)

[connorclockwise]

Explain what you mean by 'define' new function.

[MakeR]

I moved this part of the code to the top, so it is before the part where it is called.

[lua]function registerNewItem( item )
itemTable[item.className] = item --store our local
end --tables containing variables for our items by classname[/lua]

Oh, so the register could would have to be at the top, let me try compiling on lua edit again. Btw thanks so much for your patience and help.

Edit: Noice it works, +1 awesome for you.
