I want to get the index and x values. From gmatch function, i is the character so i failed this code. I want to get the values and indexes. Is there any solution from this?
val[1] = 24
fx = {}
for i, x in response_body[1]:gmatch([["(%w+)lId"%s*:%s*(%d+)]]) do
fc[i] = x
print(x)
end
/* x prints 14
18
23 */
if (val[1] ~= fc[1] and val[1] ~= fc[2] and val[1] ~= fc[3] ) then
val[1] = fc[1]
else
val[1] = val[1]
end
string.gmatch returns strings. So i and x are both strings in your code, given that you have a match of course.
f[1] is not the same as f["1"].
So in your code fc[1] and so on are nil values and hence cannot equal 24
You can use tonumber to convert a string to a number value. But keep in mind that converting an alphanumeric character as matched by %w is not necessarily convertible to a number. You have to avoid using nil as a table index or you will get an error.
