Having a table brain fart....

[Stobe]

Hello,

I'm trying to load a table with some data. I would call the table a "3D" table, for lack of better terms. I know I've done this before, but I'm missing something easy. I appreciate any help this morning.

I create the table as so...

my_table = {};

then I want to load some data....

my_table[1][1] = "apple";
my_table[1][2] = "red";
my_table[2][1] = "banana";
my_table[2][2] = "yellow";
etc...

I'm getting an error, saying I'm trying to index a nil value.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

You could use

my_table = {};
my_table[1] = {};
my_table[1][1] = "apple";
my_table[1][2] = "red";
my_table[2] = {};
my_table[2][1] = "banana";
my_table[2][2] = "yellow";

or

my_table = {{},{}};
my_table[1][1] = "apple";
my_table[1][2] = "red";
my_table[2][1] = "banana";
my_table[2][2] = "yellow";

Thanks Ulrich!

I've never done it this way before. I guess I've always loaded tables in the past with the mysql plugin.
