title: lua reading and writing table data
body: <p>I am using the following lua script to access and read an external lua file:</p>
  
  <pre><code>FileStr = "lariatData-sgeT-2012-05-31.lua"
  Hnd, ErrStr = io.open(FileStr, "r")
  if Hnd then
      dofile(FileStr)
      for Str in Hnd:lines() do
          print(Str, "\n")
          for exec, val in pairs(sgeT) do
              print(exec.." "..val, "\n")
          end
      end
      Hnd.close()
  else
      print(ErrStr, "\n")
  end
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However, when the values for the exec key are returned, I am getting a hexadecimal memory location.  FOr example, one line of output is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>table: 07x7fdc5b2538f0
  </code></pre>
