Alias declaring a table

[Dyron]

I've currently got an alias that looks like such:

Code: Select all

^srec (.+)$

I want it to do the following:

Code: Select all

local itemslist = matches[2]
local storeditems = { "tin", "silver", "gold" }

for _,v in ipairs(storeditems) do
	table.insert(itemslist, v)
end

display(itemslist)

table.save(getMudletHomeDir() .. "/" .. itemslist, itemslist)
echo(string.format("Variables saved in: '%s'", getMudletHomeDir() .. itemslist))

My goal is to declare a variable by srec. In this case it'd be srec mining

itemslist would then get set to mining
I would then loop through stored items and add them to mining

I then would take the mining list and save it so I can use it as a persistent variable.

Currently it saves as a string, so I tried different code to convert it to a table but it saves over the local variable.

Code: Select all

local itemslist = matches[2]
local itemslist = {}

Any help would be appreciated.

local itemslist = {matches[2]}
