• Description:

  Useful for debugging. ; Shows the 'complete' content of a polymorphic table (means: the table can have various elements & subtables with various elements & subtables...)

Code

function list_show_deep(list,text)
-- full key and value as string - advanced
-- indexing: pairs
 if text==nil then
    text=tostring(list)
 end -- if text
 local k,v
 for k,v in pairs(list) do
     local ktext
     if type(k)=="number" then
        ktext= text..'['..tostring(k)..']'
     else
        ktext= text..'.'..tostring(k)
     end -- if type(k)
     if type(v)=="table" then
        list_show_deep(v,ktext)
     else
        local vtext
        if (type(v)=="number") or (type(v)=="boolean") then
           vtext= tostring(v)
        else
           vtext= '\"'..tostring(v)..'\"'
        end -- if type(v)
        print(ktext..'='..vtext)
     end -- if type(v)
 end -- for k
end -- function list_show_deep

-- test table with various depths to print out:
test={
      title="root table";
      "1";
      {
       title="first subtable";
       "2.1";
       "2.2"
      };
      {
       title="second subtable";
       {
        title="first subtable of second subtable";
        "3.1.1";
        "3.1.2"
       };
       {
        title="second subtable of second subtable";
        "3.2.1";
        "3.2.2"
       };
      }
     }

list_show_deep(test,"test")
