I think its a bit of a stupid question, but is it possible to do something like this?

local names = {"file1","file2",}
local files = {"/file1.lua","/file2.lua"}
for i=1,2 do
	local file = fs.open(folders[i],"r")
	local names[i] = textutils.unserialize(file.readAll())
	file.close()
end
print(names[1])

that code looks mine to me. I'm assuming that the contents of the names table in you example is what would be put into it from the tables.

Well, when I run it, I get the error: {[string "testing.lua"]:5: unexpected symbol}
I think its the names[i] part thats erroring...

You can't make a table entry local. The table itself sets the scope for entries.

Opps, I missed the extra local. I evendently have not done enough lua recently.
