Get namefiles from http request?

[Lambik 192]

When I do a http request in lua I get this response:

[{"name":"VOLUMEID ","size":"0","attributes":"8","timestamp":"4352"},{"name":"UserVar.txt","size":"824","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"index.htm","size":"3047","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"index.js","size":"4579","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"jquery.js","size":"-32701","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"logo.png","size":"-21568","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"success.html","size":"135","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"jquery.mobile.css","size":"13492","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"jquery.mobile.js","size":"-23698","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"icons-18-white.png","size":"1829","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"ajax-loader.gif","size":"6559","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"},{"name":"json2.js","size":"1222","attributes":"32","timestamp":"29306"}]

How do I get the filenames in a table in Lua. If I use json.decode I got strange strings back like "table: 0x8dea490"..

- loop in main object (table) (with pairs or ipairs as you want here)

- k for key and v for value, in your example the value = table (you can check with lua type(v))

- v['name'] to access 'name', you can v['size'] etc...
