ipairs!

[Akimoto]

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

	for i, v in ipairs (ksys.myAffs.herb) do
		if (v == name) then
			
		table.remove(ksys.myAffs.herb, i)
			break
		end
	end

This code seems to remove the item from the table IF the items number is not a double or triple digit number, what am I doing wrong?

ipairs traverses a table that is coninously numbered and has no "holes" in it. If the next number is not found as an index, ipairs stops.

how would I do this with a table that there are many holes in it?
when I add the affliction:
table {
'all': table {
1: 'stupidity'
}
'herb': table {
22: 'stupidity'
}
'breaks': table {}
'writhe': table {}
'focus': table {
1: 'stupidity'
}
'special': table {}
'salve': table {}
'pipe': table {}
}

when I try to remove the affliction
table {
'all': table {}
'herb': table {
22: 'stupidity'
}
'breaks': table {}
'writhe': table {}
'focus': table {}
'special': table {}
'salve': table {}
'pipe': table {}
}

use pairs instead?

[Akimoto]

actually did this

Code: [show] | [select all] lua

function keyremove(table, key)
    local element = table[key]
    table[key] = nil
    return element
end
