I have the following array

local Array = {} Array[1] = {"Value_A", "Value_B", "Value_C", "Value_D"} Array[2] = {"Value_E", "Value_F", "Value_G", "Value_H"} Array[3] = {"Value_I", "Value_J", "Value_K", "Value_L"}

and I know I can print the values of every array item at once with

for k, v in ipairs(Array) do print(k, v[1], v[2], v[3], v[4]) end

but I'd like to print the values of specific array items.

How can I do that?

    well if you are unable to tell people what you want you will never be able to tell a computer what you want it to do.... edit your question, give the input and the desired output. Commented Dec 1, 2017 at 21:23

From reading your post and comments it seems to me you want to print every value separately instead of it all being on one line.

To do this you would need another for loop to iterate through all the values.

for k, v in ipairs(Array) do print(k) for i=1, #v do print(v[i]) end print() // This will just print a new line end

Output:

1 Value_A Value_B Value_C Value_D 2 Value_E Value_F Value_G Value_H 3 Value_I Value_J Value_K Value_L
