Check if there is a key in a table with a specific value?
Skip to the edit as the information below is incorrect.
I need to check if a player's ID is in a dictionary table. The problem is that the ModuleScript I'm using to get the table will return it like this:
local table = {
['name'] = "123456789"
}
Because of this, I can't really use something like if table[player.UserId] then, where a key would be like ['123456789'] = true.
Is there a different way I could do this that would be compatible with this?
I do not need the key to have a specific name. Thank you!
BIG EDIT: Apparently, the ModuleScript actually returns an array like this:
[{name="cardName",desc="cardDescription",...},{name="cardName",desc="cardDescription",...}]
This completely changes my question, sorry for the confusion.

what are the names of the keys in the table? royaltoe 5144 — 5y

the names of the key would always be 'name', but I just used 'id' as an example because the key name doesn't matter. now that I think about it, it might actually since the key name is always the same thing. hpenney2 53 — 5y

i'm still confused because you can't have multiple keys with the same name. what is name? the player's name? royaltoe 5144 — 5y

the API is going to return a new table every time, so the keys won't be in the same table. the key's name is always "name", the value is going to be the player's id. I can't change how the API works, so I'm stuck with this. hpenney2 53 — 5y

for reference, the API will give the JSON under the "Response" section at the link https://getenveloped.com/trelloapi/detail.php?resource=GetCardsInList but it will be decoded to a table with JSONDecode. hpenney2 53 — 5y

okay, also apparently it actually returns an array like [{name="cardName",desc="cardDescription",...},{name="cardName",desc="cardDescription",...}] which changes my question quite a bit hpenney2 53 — 5y

almost the same thing, I want to search if a key in the array with the name "name" matches the user's ID. hpenney2 53 — 5y
