Hi,
I’m trying to get a simple function with a variable number of parameters working:

"""
\startluacode
interfaces.implement {
   name      = "Autoren",
   public    = true,
   arguments = { "hash" },
   actions   = function(t)
     logs.report('Autoren', 'interface got table of length ' .. #t)
   end
}
\stopluacode

\starttext

Info:
\Autoren[text=Hans,melody=Hraban]

\stoptext
"""

The table t has always length 0. Where’s my error?

Do you see the difference?

\starttext

\startluacode

a = { "one", "two", "three" }

b = { x = "one", y = "two", z = "three" }

context("Table a: " .. #a)
context.par()
context("Table b: " .. #b)

\stopluacode

\stoptext

Wolfgang

Oops, yes: #count is not for string indices.

Thus I shouldn’t break if #t==0.

BTW is there a function for printing a table (like pprint.pprint in Python)?

The other problem was I had a return instead of context().

Thank you for the hint!
