Get The Number Of Items In A Lua Table
This is from a 2010 answer. TODO is look up to see if there's a different way now
local function table_length(source)
local count = 0
for _ in pairs(source) do
count = count + 1
end
return count
end
local example = {
alfa = "apple",
bravo = "bean",
charlie = "cherry"
}
print(table_length(example))Output:
3-- end of line --
