ok, so so i am trying to make a server for my computers to confirm players accsess level.
my computers have player detectors form mics peripheral. They send a message to the server
and the server is supposed to tell the computer the player's access level.
but i am having problems whit finding out the sec level of the players.

Would anyone be so kind to point me in the right direction?

[Engineer]

So you send the playername to the server? If so you could do something like this:

playerLevels = { -- Table of players with security level.
   [1] = {player1 = 1},
   [2] = {player2 = 2},
}
local id, message = rednet.receive()
local level = nil

for i = 1, #playerLevels do -- Loop through the table
   if playerLevels[i][message] then -- Check if the player's name is valid
	  level = i
	  break --break out of the loop, not neccessary but the other things wont hit, unless you have somebody twice in it
   end
end

if level then -- To check if level is nil or not
	if stuff then
	   -- do stuff
	end
end

I hope I helped

Edit: Providied some more info

I totally agree with you if you haven't defined it
Simply create a table like this:

local secLevel = {
  Player1 = 1,
  Player2 = 3,
  Player3 = 2
}

print(secLevel.Player1)
--Or
print(secLevel["Player1"])

Edit: Again too late? wow, I don't have any luck today

Edit2:

local secLevel = {
  Player1 = 1,
  Player2 = 3,
  Player3 = 2
}

while true do
  local id, player = rednet.receive()
  rednet.send(id, secLevel[player] or 0)
end

I don't think that'll work.
If you set a string as an index for a table you can't adress it with a number
(So #tab won't work)

OK, so i used the code you gave me and made this:

http://pastebin.com/eutyzbdf

then i sendt it this message ("rednet.send(117, "_TheSettler_", true )
but it only returns the sender id and message not the accsess level...

[Engineer]

Try this code: http://pastebin.com/7dLwVKws

And where is true part for in your rednet.send(--blabla)?
Or are you using channels?

Edit: Oops.. Try this one: http://pastebin.com/1bJCSNQC

Try this:

server

rednet.open("back")

local secLevel = {
  Player1 = 1,
  Player2 = 3,
  Player3 = 2
}

while true do
  local id, player = rednet.receive()
  rednet.send(id, secLevel[player] or 0)
end

client:

local id, player = ...
id = tonumber(id)

rednet.open("right")
rednet.send(id, player)

local _, lvl = rednet.receive()
print(lvl)

Save both to a file on your computer (for example the serverprogramm to server and the clientprogram to client)
then type
server
to run the server and
client <id> <player>
(id is the id of your server computer)
to run the client

Damn now I feel like a nub again. Its better to use jokeRH's way. I modified it a little bit; ["name"] are neccesary because name can start with a number. This works, I have tested it. pastebin.com/uf3gq346

Edit: Sorry for the program previously not to work. I was like: Herp-a-Derp!

Thanks to all of you.
