How could I set a variable for every file listed by this code:

list = fs.list("programs")
nfiles = #list
term.setCursorPos(1, 3)
for _,file in ipairs(list) do
print(file)
end
or give me a variable for every file and then print it?

Thanks />

If it is stored in a table it already has a var. Here's an example on how to print them. This depends on the structure of the table however and may vary slightly.

local list = {} -- declare as table
list = fs.list("programs")

for x=1, #list do
print(list[x])
end

The first record in the table is list[1], and it increments to list[2] etc etc..

but each file that is in the table can be stored as a variable, each variable for each file?

what you want is the global table
usage:

_G[<string>]

will get the variable of the strings name

And how can I implement the global table?
