Answer by furq for How to reference lua table member from table member?

There's no way of doing this inside the constructor itself, but you can do it after creating the table like so:

enUS = {   LOCALE_STHOUSANDS = ","}enUS.patNumber = "%d+["..enUS.LOCALE_STHOUSANDS.."%d]*"enUS.PreScanPatterns = {  ["^("..enUS.patNumber..") Armor$"] = "ARMOR",}

If you specifically need to refer to the current table, Lua provides a "self" parameter, but it's only accessible in functions.

local t = {  x = 1,  y = function(self) return self.x end} -- this is functionally identical to t.yfunction t:z() return self.x end-- these are identical and interchangeableprint(t:y(), t.z(t))-- 1, 1
