Good grief. I was trying zs.var.db["key"].
Thanks |

Hmmm it would be possible to use the %db function from lua, but there is no reason, (and in fact would be slower). The zs interface is very nice and converts hash tables for Db records to ones compatible with lua. additional string lists become numerical keyed hash tables so there is no need to use %item.

I noticed it won't let me assign a value with zs.var["db"]["key"] = "blah blah".

Well, it Lua should allow the above syntax, but it will only update the local Lua copy of the table and not the stored CMUD database variable. There is no way to intercept the above Lua assignment to cause CMUD to update the underlying CMUD variable. It's just a restriction in the way the Lua API is handled in CMUD.
