Unfortunately, this sequence is repeated many many times, so I would need to do a for-each and construct a new table for each inner section…
There’s gotta be a better way. Time to read the source code and hijack whatever item() is doing.
Comment on Can anyone tell me what format this uh.. nested dictionary is?
vrighter@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months agothe code is constructing a table, and passing it to a function called item. But if all you need is the data, you can just remove the function call and assign the table to a variable like so: local myvar = {…}.
then you can just manipulate the table as usual.

actually those semicolons indicate this isn’t actually lua, they are invalid in table constructors afaik
