Is there any way to reference a nested element of a table given a string
reference to it? That is, given some simple data like this:
foo = {a=1, b=2, c={d=3}}
Could you have a function like this (I know this function doesn't work):
function GetElement(table, field)
return table[field]
end
such that with the above data GetElement(foo, "c.d") returns 3?
Thanks,
Curt
