Do it as a variable so where the table.find is make it
local TableIndex = table.find(Stations,‘Ostheim’)

Print(TableIndex)

You can try adding the station name as a key and keep a set of lines as the value:

local trainSpawnsAndLines = {
    ["Ostheim"] = {
        ["9"] = true
    }
}

you can then check for a certain station with a certain line by doing this:

local trainLines = trainSpawnsAndLines[tostring(stationName)]

if trainLines and trainLines[tostring(selectedLine)] then
    print("found line")
end

You can add another line to the station by writing in something like ["#"] = true,

Edit: if you know ahead of time that the station name will always be a string, you can just omit the tostring call for the trainLines statement.

local trainLines = trainSpawnsAndLines[stationName]

You can do a similar thing for selectedLine if you know it will always be a string.

But you dont have the Line added in your script

#16

Which line are you talking about

#17

What do you mean here? table.find() returns the index (number) of the object.

table.find(trainSpawnsAndLines, "Ostheim") -- returns the index
#18

I need to check if 9 Exist and if Ostheim is inside 9

#19

Then put 9 stops before that maybe?

#21

Also dont worked

#22

Is it not printing at all? Are there any errors? Do the stationName and selectedLine strings contain any hidden characters or are they misspelled?

#23 
local trainSpawnsAndLines = {[9] = {"Ostheim"}}

if trainSpawnsAndLines[9] ~= nil and table.find(trainSpawnsAndLines[9], "Ostheim") ~= nil then
	-- do stuff
end
#24

It worked, Thanks!

 ~= nil

This isn’t necessary by the way.
