Sorry for the dumb question, i have searched high and low and am still stumped after reading lots of Lua docs…
I have a table i converted from XML (with lxp) but can not figure out how to access the values in it. I want to, for example, grab the value of “pump” (which is “0” in this case), and “spasp” (which is “96” in this case) and stick them into variables.
vTable={ [1]="\ ", [2]={ [1]="\ ", [2]={ [1]="8", attr={ }, tag="runstate" }, [3]="\ ", [4]={ [1]="6521", attr={ }, tag="model" }, [5]="\ ", [6]={ [1]="00000000", attr={ }, tag="dip" }, [7]="\ ", [8]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="opmode" }, [9]="\ ", [10]={ [1]="589", attr={ }, tag="vbat" }, [11]="\ ", [12]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="lowbat" }, [13]="\ ", [14]={ [1]="1.5.5", attr={ }, tag="version" }, [15]="\ ", [16]={ [1]="1398059089", attr={ }, tag="time" }, [17]="\ ", attr={ }, tag="system" }, [3]="\ ", [4]={ [1]="\ ", [2]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="pump" }, [3]="\ ", [4]={ attr={ }, tag="pumplo" }, [5]="\ ", [6]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="spa" }, [7]="\ ", [8]={ attr={ }, tag="waterfall" }, [9]="\ ", [10]={ attr={ }, tag="cleaner" }, [11]="\ ", [12]={ attr={ }, tag="poolht2" }, [13]="\ ", [14]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="poolht" }, [15]="\ ", [16]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="spaht" }, [17]="\ ", [18]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="solarht" }, [19]="\ ", [20]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="aux1" }, [21]="\ ", [22]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="aux2" }, [23]="\ ", [24]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="aux3" }, [25]="\ ", [26]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="aux4" }, [27]="\ ", [28]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="aux5" }, [29]="\ ", [30]={ attr={ }, tag="aux6" }, [31]="\ ", [32]={ attr={ }, tag="aux7" }, [33]="\ ", [34]={ attr={ }, tag="aux8" }, [35]="\ ", [36]={ attr={ }, tag="aux9" }, [37]="\ ", [38]={ attr={ }, tag="aux10" }, [39]="\ ", [40]={ attr={ }, tag="aux11" }, [41]="\ ", [42]={ attr={ }, tag="aux12" }, [43]="\ ", [44]={ attr={ }, tag="aux13" }, [45]="\ ", [46]={ attr={ }, tag="aux14" }, [47]="\ ", [48]={ attr={ }, tag="aux15" }, [49]="\ ", [50]={ attr={ }, tag="aux16" }, [51]="\ ", [52]={ attr={ }, tag="aux17" }, [53]="\ ", [54]={ attr={ }, tag="aux18" }, [55]="\ ", [56]={ attr={ }, tag="aux19" }, [57]="\ ", [58]={ attr={ }, tag="aux20" }, [59]="\ ", [60]={ attr={ }, tag="aux21" }, [61]="\ ", [62]={ attr={ }, tag="aux22" }, [63]="\ ", [64]={ attr={ }, tag="aux23" }, [65]="\ ", attr={ }, tag="equipment" }, [5]="\ ", [6]={ [1]="\ ", [2]={ [1]="82", attr={ }, tag="poolsp" }, [3]="\ ", [4]={ [1]="60", attr={ }, tag="poolsp2" }, [5]="\ ", [6]={ [1]="96", attr={ }, tag="spasp" }, [7]="\ ", [8]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="pooltemp" }, [9]="\ ", [10]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="spatemp" }, [11]="\ ", [12]={ [1]="58", attr={ }, tag="airtemp" }, [13]="\ ", [14]={ [1]="0", attr={ }, tag="solartemp" }, [15]="\ ", [16]={ [1]="F", attr={ }, tag="tempunits" }, [17]="\ ", attr={ }, tag="temp" }, [7]="\ ", attr={ }, tag="response" }
the source xml (which if i could extract elements from directly i could avoid the table entirely, but alas i do not know how to do that either) i get from the device (Autelis pool controller) is:
<response>

<spatemp>0</spatemp>
<airtemp>61</airtemp>

I would very much appreciate a point in the right direction!
Thanks
