[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

illegal 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
1
somevariablenamehere = dofile("/sys/lua/vademon/serialize/serialize.lua")
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?

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.
1
2
executionTime(table.uneval,entitylist())
executionTime(table.serialize,"a",entitylist())
And it output:
1
2
0.514		-- table.uneval
0.510		-- table.serialize
That's why i give you a like.
I like it!
