API tContains

tContains(table, value)

Returns true (1) if value is in table, false (nil) otherwise. Note: this is not a standard Lua function, but was added by Blizzard to simplify table searches.

Implementation function tContains(table, item) local index = 1; while table[index] do               if ( item == table[index] ) then return 1; end index = index + 1; end return nil; end

Example
banana = { "yellow", "curved", "yummy" }; lotus = { "pink", "pretty" };

eatme = tContains( lotus, "yummy" );

Result eatme = false
