Convert String Table to Table

[donzee529 (Donzee)]

“{1, 2, 3}”
How do I turn it into a table as it’s a string?

Why you need to define a table like that? Why should there be a table inside a string? When doing that and it prints, it just counts as a string.

"{1, 2, 3}"

I got it from a database. Thats why.

StringValue to table?

Couldn’t you just JSONEncode and JSONDecode to write and read from the table value?

Explanation

@RuizuKun_Dev

You can’t save a Table but you can save other Data Types, such as Boolean, Number, Integer and String, etc (Primitive Data Types)

You can however convert a Table into a JSON string and Save it to Data Store, although this is done automatically so you don’t have to but be careful because it has limitations and special rules.

You can convert Array, and Dictionary with string keys

You can’t convert Array with gaps, Mixed - Table and Dictionary with non string keys

And no you cannot store other data types that I didn’t mentioned to DataStore, ie Instances, Vector3, CFrame, and Color3 but they can be converted to other data types as well.

TL:DR, Use

• JSONEncode
• JSONDecode
