[Solved by incapaxian] Converting a "Key" of a Dictionary to String?
Since I'm tired, it's 4:40 AM and I can't seem to figure out a solution...
I bothered myself to beg the question, "How could I get a string from a key in a dictionary"
Here is my current code:
01 | local functions = {} |
02 | local function searchTable(tab,nam) |
03 | local parent = "" |
04 | for i,v in pairs(tab) do |
05 | if CVExtra[tab] then |
06 | parent=""..nam |
07 | else |
08 | parent="" |
09 | end |
10 | if typeof(v)=="function" then |
11 | table.insert(functions,""..i) |
12 | elseif typeof(v)=="table" then |
13 | searchTable(v,i) |
14 | end |
15 | end |
16 | end |
1 | table.insert(functions,""..i) |
Trying to convert "i" to a string, which might equal "numbify" but "numbify" is a function, defined within the dictionary of "CVExtra."
print(i) is able to print out the name, but I don't know how to do the same.
I wonder if any one can provide the print() function code if no true solution can be made.

Don't get your question. `for k, v in pairs(dictionary) do end` the key is k. User#24403 69 — 6y

Had done it with the value and abandoned it, didn't think about using it for index. Thank ye' Cvieyra2test 176 — 6y
