make small table with two values for each record

HC3

I would like to store a small table in global variable with a list of songname and the length in time of each song,  so can make a table which has the songs as a list, however i would like to also store alongside each song name the time it takes to play, can anyone please guide me on how to construct this table?  Thank you ever so much.

If each song name is unique and used as table key

Song titles are not unique and we only create an array of song records

I wanted to give each song a number as in S1, title,length, so would i just need to add this on each line?

{number = 'S1',Name = SongName,length = 4*60}

and then to retrieve the details of S1, print(song.number) or print (song.Name etc...?

also in your return what is the ,"s" doing?

s = seconds

thank you @jgab

is it possible to have more then just the title and value in a table, what i would like is, songnumber,title,length.

how would write such a table and how would i get back the values?

thank you,

when i run this in scene if it is a basic table ie with just title and name i run this to get the value

local jMT = json.decode(fibaro.getGlobalVariable("jMusicTable"))
fibaro.debug("Scene47", "Play "..jMT.Song.S1)

how do i reference the song name from your table example?

you can do it also this because it is array.

songs2[1].title

songs2[1].songTitle

songs2[2].title

songs2[2].songTitle

songs2[3].title

songs2[3].songNumber

etc.
