    <p>I have an external lua file that has a table stored in it that is formatted as follows:</p> <pre><code>sgeT = { 2535047 = { { ["account"] = "TG-MCB110105", ["exec"] = "/share/home/00288/tg455591/NAMD_2.8b3/NAMD_2.8b3_Linux-x86_64-MVAPICH-Intel-Ranger/namd2", ["execEpoch"] = 1305825864, ["execModify"] = "Thu May 19 12:24:24 2011", ["execType"] = "user:binary", ["jobID"] = "2535047", ["numCores"] = "128", ["numNodes"] = "8", pkgT = { }, ["runTime"] = "65125", ["sha1"] = "e157dd510a7be4d775d6ceb271373ea24e7f9559", sizeT = { ["bss"] = "104552", ["data"] = "192168", ["text"] = "10650813", }, ["startEpoch"] = "1335843433", ["startTime"] = "Mon Apr 30 22:37:13 2012", ["user"] = "guo", }, }, 2535094 = { { ["account"] = "TG-MCB110105", ["exec"] = "/share/home/00288/tg455591/NAMD_2.8b3/NAMD_2.8b3_Linux-x86_64-MVAPICH-Intel-Ranger/namd2", ["execEpoch"] = 1305825864, ["execModify"] = "Thu May 19 12:24:24 2011", ["execType"] = "user:binary", ["jobID"] = "2535094", ["numCores"] = "128", ["numNodes"] = "8", pkgT = { }, ["runTime"] = "81635", ["sha1"] = "e157dd510a7be4d775d6ceb271373ea24e7f9559", sizeT = { ["bss"] = "104552", ["data"] = "192168", ["text"] = "10650813", }, ["startEpoch"] = "1335823028", ["startTime"] = "Mon Apr 30 16:57:08 2012", ["user"] = "guo", }, } </code></pre> <p>I want to iterate through the table like an array and return the exec key, value pair, and I am completely new to lua and I am using the following script:</p> <pre><code>FileStr = "lariatData-sgeT-2012-05-31.lua" Hnd, ErrStd = io.open(FileStr, "r") myTable = loadTable(FileStr) if Hnd then for Str in Hnd:lines() do print(Str, "\n") for exec, val in pairs(myTable) do print(exec.." "..val, "\n") end end Hnd.close() else print(ErrStr, "\n") end </code></pre> <p>However, it is returning that the table is nil. What am I doing wrong?</p>

    3. COHow did you get the table in file? The declaration is wrong. `2535047` should be `[2535047]` and similarly `[2535094]`

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
