How can I find a number of an item in a table?

[pasje1312]

How would I get the number of an item in a table, like:

                1   2   3
local Ltable = {"w","s","l"}

And then make it find like w, so like

local number = table.find(Ltable,"w")

But how can I get w number the place w is in the table

@pasje1312

local number = table.find(Ltable,"w")

doesnt this statement return what you are looking for?

[catalinprooo]

local number
for i, ThinginTable in ipairs (Ltable) do
if ThinginTable == "w" then
number = i
end
end

print(number)

table.find already does this for you.
