Table.Insert Examples

OverviewExamples

Table.Insert (

table SourceTable,

number Position,

variant Value )

Example 1

Debug.ShowWindow(true);

target_table = {"One","Two","Three"}; --Creates a table whose values are 3 strings.

Table.Insert(target_table, 2, "Four");

for x,y in target_table do

Debug.Print("Index "..x.." = "..y.."\r\n");

end

Inserts the string "Four" into index 2 of the table called "target_table." For this example, a loop has been created to output the new contents of the table to the debug window. The output would be the following:

Index 1 = One

Index 2 = Four

Index 3 = Two

Index 4 = Three

Example 2

Debug.ShowWindow(true);

target_table = {"One","Two","Three"}; --Creates a table whose values are 3 strings.

Table.Insert(target_table, Table.Count(target_table)+1, "Four");

for x,y in target_table do

Debug.Print("Index "..x.." = "..y.."\r\n");

end

Inserts the string "Four" into index 4 of the table called "target_table." In this example the Table.Count action is used to get the number of items in the table so the new item can be inserted at the end. Here is what would be printed in the debug window:

Index 1 = One

Index 2 = Two

Index 3 = Three

Index 4 = Four
