List
The List function lists the contents of a value. The value may be a number, string, or a table. For a table, this function lists only the indexed array elements of the table. Nestest, or multi-dimensional tables are supported. Since only the array components are listed, the table keys are not listed. This function is indended for use with tables used as an array.
List( value )
If value is simple, as with a string or number, then List works like the Printf function by just listing the value. If value is a table, then only the indexed table elements are listed. In contrast, the TList function lists the entire table contents..
The following script creates a complex table and lists its contents.
