Hello! Elg here again

I am trying, as the title says, to read a tables contents from another file!

this is the main code

http://pastebin.com/44WMZwry

and this is the table im trying to read

http://pastebin.com/R0DrG1f8

This is using the immibis core mod, using the mag card system, but i dont believe that changes the code im looking for any!


I want to use the table from the file, as data for an if statement!


Any help is extremely appreciated, as always!

Hi Elgriton,

The txtfile has to be altered to look like this, so remove the "passs =" stuff

{"XTF93hlQV+sf9x4aB0GOtA==","56u2g+nWTUjFsB4AFM7Lg=="}

local function loadTable(str) -- create a function where str is path and filename for the password file
local h = fs.open(tostring(str), "r") -- opens the file in read mode
local nstr = h.readAll()  -- reads the content to a string
local newtable = textutils.unserialize(nstr) -- converts the string to a table 
return newtable -- returns the table
end

passs = loadTable("pass.txt") -- use the new function to assign the table to a variable

for i =1,#passtable do -- this is just a loop to show the passwords  
print(passs[i]) -- you can access the password by index 
end

This confuses me a bit, I dont get any errors when i run it, and when i print the passwords it works fine, but i cant use them in an iff statement, meaning

if pass == "whatever" then
  print("works?")
else
  print("no works:(")
end

replacing "whatever" with whatever you want to compare in the table

[LordIkol]

you need to use pass[1] or pass[2] cause the table u where giving here has 2 values

1 = XTF93hlQV+sf9x4aB0GOtA==
2 = 56u2g+nWTUjFsB4AFM7Lg==
