Your require does not work. And I meant like
local Table = {
"Hello World!"
}
Not
{"Hello World!"}
Would need to hardcode the variable name into the string then.
what do you mean hardcode
ghfgc
The variable name would have to be built into the code. Since on Roblox there isn’t a way to get local variable names
I showed you that resource to get started, not to blindly follow it. First of all there are some settings in repr you can copy. Such as these. local table isn’t supported in repr but you do that yourself, here is an example below.
https://gyazo.com/e0707ca94b734536537ef9e2529a1deb
First of all play around with these settings. Enable pretty and semicolons.
local Repr = require(workspace.repr)
local Table = {
"Hello World!"
}
local String = "local table = " .. Repr(Table)
print(String)

You have to hardcore the variable name as Incapaz said, unless that’s if your storing these tables inside an other hashtable.

Why does this happen?
local Table = {
Table2 = {
"House!"
},
"Haps"
}
local Table = {
Table2 = {
"House!"
},
[1] = "Haps"
}
I dont want the [1]
Because you have a mixed table.
How do I stop the [1] from happening?

Seems a bit silly to me to fork the module just to prevent it from adding that when you can solve the core problem: the use of mixed tables.

I dont know how to do it though
Try searching things such as ‘What is a mixed table, and how to prevent it?’
In general, I don’t recommend MixedTables they don’t save to the datastore, and can’t be json encoded.
This is a mixed table you got there, I don’t recommend it ever:
local Table = {
Table2 = {
"House!"
},
[1] = "Haps
}
In no real-world scenario, you would have to do this. A mixed table has different datatypes of indexes. In your case, your hashtable has numerical indexes and string indexes.
local Table = {
Table2 = {
"House!";
"Haps"
},
}
Instead 100% of the time you would do this in the real world. Or even better.
local Table = {
{
"House!"
};
"Haps"
}
Your repr thingy returns:
local Table = {
Table2 = {
"House!"
},
[1] = "Haps"
}
I want it to return:
local Table = {
Table2 = {
"House!"
},
"Haps"
}```
So how would I go about doing that?This isn’t my “repr” thing Ozzypig made it. If you want to do that rewrite the module, currently Repr doesn’t support this.
Instead of ignoring suggestions of not using mixed tables, why don’t you actually listen to people who told you not to use mixed tables?
I have I have found this:
for _, kStr in pairs(keyOrder) do
if not first then
str = str .. (reprSettings.semicolons and ";" or ",") .. (reprSettings.pretty and ("\n" .. INDENT .. tabs) or " ")
end
str = str .. ("%s = %s"):format(kStr, keyValueStrings[kStr])
first = false
end
If I change it to:
for _, kStr in pairs(keyOrder) do
if not first then
str = str .. (reprSettings.semicolons and ";" or ",") .. (reprSettings.pretty and ("\n" .. INDENT .. tabs) or " ")
end
str = str .. ("%s%s"):format("", keyValueStrings[kStr])
first = false
end
I get
local Table = {
{
"House!"
},
"Haps"
}
But as you can see the Table2 is missing
Your better of asking here for help how to do the thing your asking:
i would but that would be necro posting
Necrobumping isn’t bad as long as your adding something useful to the post.

I’ll be the one to ask. Why don’t you want the [1]? Is it critical to whatever you’re trying to accomplish that you keep using a mixed table?
repr is a debugging tool. It is not designed to serialize tables into strings so that you can convert them back into tables again, which is what it looks like you’re doing with the variable name bit. For that, you’ll want to find another library or create your own. Converting to JSON is a great alternative, but that will require you to avoid using mixed tables.
