Ah.. yeah... I should have made that more clear in my example... it's the path that needs to be numerically indexed.

The other thing you can do is mix things up:

put "hello" into tTest[1][2]["abba"]["zabba"]
put  "abba,zabba" into tPath
split tPath by comma
put  1,2 into tRootPath
split tRootPath by comma
put tTest[tRootPath][tPath] = "hello" -- true
