[JW Lua] 'attempt to index' error

[Charles O. Lawrence]

Bruce,

Just my 2 cents.  I have not studied your code to see what you are actually
trying to do, but at first glance, it seems to me that you need to
define/initialize your local PageTextTable outside and before the scope of
the for loops and remove any local references on the PageTextTable within
blocks, such as if-then blocks.  As it is now, you lose any definition of
PageTextTable once you leave the scope of the block.

local PageTextTable = {}

for pt in loadall(finale.FCPageTexts()) do
.
.
.

As I said, I'm not sure if this is what you intended, but then you can
PageTextTable[1] = PageTextLinks[1]
and not get the error.
Where is index [2] in all those scenarios?

Also if the intent is to copy one table to another with this statement later
on,
PageTextTable = PageTextLinks[k]
it won't work.  Lua does not provide for a table copy, you have to program a
table copy with loops.

Someone better in Lua that me will have to jump in now.  Good luck.  Keep us
posted with your results.

Jari,

What is the reason for this error in the attached script?
[string "function plugindef()
..."]:333: attempt to index local 'PageTextTable' (a boolean value)

Thanks,
Bruce
