Hi,
I use the attached Lua function to merge array, map and mixed tables alike
(but differently! :-) The trick is to check if each key is numeric or not,
append if it is and overwrite if it isn't.
you really want something like this then:
local tab = table.pack(...)
local rv = {}
This function just ignores non-table arguments because that is what I
usually want. You may want to throw an error instead. Also it uses
table.pack. You might need to use `tab = {...}` and ipairs, or implement
pack:
I might add table.himerged (hash and index) but slightly different (and
some 30% faster) to util-tab but i think merging mixed hash/indexed
tables is rare.
