for i,something in somelse do -- ERROR? or WHATs happening?

[paul186]

Hi all, every time i have to do this code to search a string in a table like:
for i,something in somelse do

My app get error, why? is it a bug?

for example in this thread:
http://www.indigorose.com/forums/threads/28649-How-do-I-search-for-two-files-or-more/page2?highlight=search+multiple+files
i download the TEST.APZ maked by T3STY, opened it with ams8 and get the following error:

Error: Attempt to call a table value
Stack Traceback:
1:[Page1 -Z On Show]Line 3 in main chunk

and that line contains:


for i, drives in tDrives do


whats happening? and why is only in my AMS8? any idea of how can i solve it?

Thanks to all and sorry for this inconvenience.. im always asking you...

You could check the documentation or search the forums before posting. This is clearly documented (http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/ams/Scripting_Guide/Tables_(Arrays).htm#_Ref44926748) and has been discussed before.

My browser now contains a macro for answering this question :p Nah, would be cool tho...


Change it to:
for i, drives in pairs(tDrives) do


You gotta use that in table loops as from Lua 5.1. Next time, read the documentation.
