gollark: Yes, not really sure why you'd want the return value in any case.
gollark: If you want to see the table's contents, use the `textutils.serialise` function.
gollark: It means it's returning a table, and `tostring` which I believe `print` uses internally doesn't actually print their contents.
gollark: Though that will create a trailing space and comma.
gollark: Assuming you meant `"five"` instead of `"5"`, simple enough I think:```lualocal out = ""for ix, v in pairs(name_of_that_table) do out = out .. ("%d %s, "):format(ix, v)endreturn out```
