Im trying to save a table through a datastore. It prints out table:21fn4ruwfnwfmwe or something like that, so when I added JSONEncode, it printed out [“word”, “data”]. How do I now find the first parameter in the table (which is word).
da[1] doesn’t do it!

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local appStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("App")
local app = {"word", "data"}
local http = game:GetService("HttpService")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

local success, err = pcall(function()

   appStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, app)
local da = appStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
da = http:JSONEncode(da)
print(da[1])
end)
 
if success then
    print("Success!")
	else
	print(err)
end
end)

Try da[1] without the JSONEncode? Alternatively use JSONDecode if you JSONEncode’d your data when you saved it.

local da = appStore:GetAsync(player.UserId)
print(da[1])

Did you remember to use :JSONDecode()? The script does not recognize the JSON encoded table as an actual table. You gotta decode it using :JSONDecode() before you can find the first parameter in the table.
