Nested table initialization

[guryev]

Hello,

Suppose I want to initialize an array consisting of tables in the Setup Factory script.
Can I write something like:

required_fields = {
{ id = CTRL_EDIT_01, description = "Company Name" },
{ id = CTRL_EDIT_02, description = "First Name" },
{ id = CTRL_EDIT_04, description = "Last Name" }
};

and then, for instance, access an element as:

required_fields[ 2 ].id

?

Thanks

Associative arrays may not keep the order as you expect, so the second element may not refer to CTRL_EDIT_02 after the initialization. However, there is actually no need to use an associative array here, because the control ids are numbers. You could simply use this:

required_fields = {};
required_fields[CTRL_EDIT_01] = "Company Name";
required_fields[CTRL_EDIT_02] = "First Name";
required_fields[CTRL_EDIT_04] = "Last Name";
