I can deal with the field names being lower-case and identifier-like; maybe people will even prefer them that way. But the fact that "md5" and "sha1" are not on adjacent lines is galling. Maybe a special kind of table format that keeps order (i.e., an array of name-value pairs)? That would seem to require a higher-level function with which to set output values.
You can get an ordered dictionary in Lua with some metamethod magic: local table = require "table" function ordered_new () local t = {} local reverse = {} local order = {} local function iterator () for i, key in ipairs(order) do coroutine.yield(key, t[key]) end end local mt = { __newindex = function (t, k, v) if reverse[k] then rawset(t, k, v) if v == nil then table.remove(order, reverse[k]) reverse[k] = nil end else table.insert(order, k) reverse[k] = #order rawset(t, k, v) end end, __pairs = function (t) return coroutine.wrap(iterator) end, } return setmetatable(t, mt) end local test = ordered_new() test.a = 1 test.b = 2 test[1] = 4 test.foo = 3 for k,v in pairs(test) do print(k,v) end prints: a 1 b 2 1 4 foo 3 -- - Patrick Donnelly _______________________________________________ Sent through the nmap-dev mailing list http://cgi.insecure.org/mailman/listinfo/nmap-dev Archived at http://seclists.org/nmap-dev/
