#1

Hi,
I need to make … (the think i use as this

local function a (b,...)
    return ...
end

).
So I can add there all parametrs for example from spliting string and then call function with all of them as single arguments.

I need to get parametrs from string, and idk how many i will have, so, i got idea to use … as here in the test function

function test (...)
	someFunc(...)
end
test(1,2,3,4,5,6)

but idk how to create … without having it as agument.

just put your args into a table and read from the table like args[2]

I got also this idea, but i dont want to edit all functions, so i am asking, if this is possible.
BTW, i really dont understand whole …, so i will be happy when you will tell what it is.

unpack( table, [ firstIndex, lastIndex ] )

Unpacks a table into the equivalent multiple argument list and returns it. So you can do:

print(unpack({1, 4, 5})) -> 1 4 5

You can build an array from an ellipsis with

function test(...)
    local args = {...}
    for i, v in ipairs(args) do
        print(i..": "..tostring(v))
    end
end

I don’t know if that helps; you haven’t been really clear about what your problem is.
