[Developer Tools] Table Serialization

Description
Basically it allows you to output a whole table as a single string; for example, to write it to a file and load later.

Features
Saves any datatype except functions, threads and userdata (it's impossible)
Multidimensional array support
Tabulated human-friendly output

Caution! To serialize such tables as /_G/ you will need to manipulate the function yourself else you will run into an infinite loop! (happened to me, 2GB text file FTW!)


Installation
Basic installation:Extract the archive into CS2D folder.

Execute the lua file with dofile() which will return the function

After that you can access this function under the given name.


How to use
Function: funcName(name, object [, tabs])
name: type the name of the original table (in most cases same as /object/ but it's a string)
object: the table you want to serialize
[Optional] tabs: used internally to pass tabulators as a string (e.g.: "\t\t" will increase the tabulators by 2)

Bugs?
Yea, there's one, try to find it Yet I hope nobody will run into it.

i cant Like this shitt

lol, happened to me once because i tried to print every single varriable of a lua instance and forgot that "_G" contains itself

Awesome script

I prefer using my own version, much simplier and no useless functions.

Well, I did find a bug from looking at the image, though I'm not sure if it's the one you tasked us with finding. See, even though "Welcome, %username%" in randomStrings is assigned the index 18, your serialization assigns it the index 3. That might produce some very nasty errors.

Okay it's simply faster than mine.

And it output:

That's why i give you a like.
