example code:

testtable = {}

testtable["Movement Cost"] = 2
testtable[1] = 3

If HaveItem(testtable, 1) Then DebugPrint("1 is found")
If HaveItem(testtable, "Movement Cost") Then DebugPrint("Movement Cost found")

it prints "1 is found" as expected, but unexpectedly (to me at least), it doesnt print "Movement Cost found".

Is this a bug or a feature?

And trying this with Hollywood 8 on Windows.

I can get around it with RawGet, but RawGet makes difference between capital and non capital letters if I correctly understood.

Might be a feature.

I investigated this issue more and noticed following.

table["Name"] = 1

cant be found using table.name, as example: b = table.name

However, if I use all small letters:

table["name"] = 1

then I can use b = table.name and it works.

And same with HaveItem() works fine too.

RTFM

This is what the HaveItem() doc says:

Note that if you pass a string in the key parameter, it will be converted to lower case automatically. If you don't want that, use RawGet() instead.

So yes, it's a feature...
