Getting the "name" of a value in a table

Hello! So rather than using the traditional leader stats and values stuff like that I am using tables. Each player has their own table within a server data table. Their data is saved and loaded. Within the player’s table I have an inventory table.

Inventory = {
  ex = 0,
  ex2 = 0
}

I would like to get the name of each variable in the table so I can set it to the text of a text label in their inventory (for example I would like to get the “ex” in the above table and set the text label’s text to it) is there a way of doing that?

You could loop through the table and use the index variable (i) to get the key, instead of v, the actual value.

for i,v in pairs(Inventory) do
   local text = i
   local number = v
end
