lua table - String Comparison in Lua -
trying create dictionary function, first made 2 dimensional table:
dictionary = {} = 1, 52 dictionary[i] = {} end then read in txt file words dictionary table has 26 entries uppercase , likewise lowercase.
when try search through table compare words i'm having difficulty:
test = dictionary[1][176] testtwo = "ave" if test == testtwo print("the strings same") else print("they not same) end i know @ dictionary[1][176] "ave" when try comparisons not equal.
in reply answers how reading in dictionary:
function createdictionary() io.input("dictionary.txt") dictionary = {} line in io.lines() print(type(line)) table.insert(dictionary, line) end end
you haven't set dictionary[1][176] ave, because when run piece of code the strings same.
to set ave that:
dictionary[1][176] = "ave"
