I'm trying to use textutils.tabulate to output tables within tables. However the amount of tables are unknown. How can I loop through available tables within textutils.tabulate?

Example below:

local tTable = {
{"Heading1", "Heading2", "Heading3"},
{"Entry1a", "Entry1b", "Entry1c"},
{"Entry2a", "Entry2b", "Entry2c"}}
--tabulate tables, knowing first entry will always exist
textutils.tabulate(tTable[1], ???)

Thanks

I think you need to do something like this

for x = 1, #tTables do
 textutils.tabulate(tTables[x])
end

This is probably not the best way to do it tho...

If you are using numerical indices, you can use unpack. unpack returns all the values stored in the table (only for numerical indices), so you can then pass them to the tabulate function. Like this:

textutils.tabulate(unpack(tTables))

Thank you MysticT this worked great.
