== Examples == -- Common usage. local num = select('#', ...) -- Returns the number of arguments in the ellipsis. local arg = select(i, ...) -- Returns the value at index '''i'''. -- Print all of the function's arguments (those passed to the ellipsis (...) only) to the default chat frame. local msg for i = 1, select('#', ...) do msg = select(i, ...) DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(msg) end local a, b, c = select(2, 'a', 'b', 'c') -- a = 'b' -- b = 'c' -- c = nil === Catenation === select can be used to catenate a vararg list into an array. This is useful for returning info from [[API_GetBinding | GetBinding]], which returns a vararg list of unknown size. function MyAddon_Catenate(...) local t,v t = {} for i = 1, select("#", ...) do v = select(i, ...) tinsert(t, v) end return t end
