Question

For example I loaded a module, and there is a table in this module with name “Table1”. In the main file I have a table which I want to be the exact same copy of “Table1”.
So how can I do it, if I have only a name of that table.
When I am trying to do it like this

str = "Table1"  
t = str

I obviously get a string instead of table, so how can I get a table content that table content? What I want is to able somehow make this line of code

t = 'Table1'

be equvalent to this one

t = Table1

Answer 1

If str is the name of a global variable, use _G[str] to get its value.
