Extracting a Lua menu item

@reyalp

I have the following in my script

Code: [Select]
#mode = 0 "Focus?" {Off X2INF Min2INF Manual Min2X SupRes}

I wish to access the text associated with a menu item, eg 1 above is “X2INF”, but I can’t work out how.

Hope you can help.

Cheers

Garry

Here need to copy headerline to a Lua string-table and access via print(tab[mode+1])  :)

Yes, I know I can fudge it, but I thought there may be a hidden way of getting direct access ;-)

Maybe another request for @reyalp Lua additions, ie get the text value of a Lua menu item  ;)

Use the table option, like
Code: [Select]
#mode = 0 "Focus?" {Off X2INF Min2INF Manual Min2X SupRes} table
Then you can access the string with mode.value. You can also access the index with mode.index. Note .index is one based, unlike items created without the table option. See https://chdk.fandom.com/wiki/CHDK_Script_Header

Don't forget what the H stands for.
