Lua arrays are 1 based to 0 will always be nil. Also, the consolelog is not a normal array as it's a ringbuffer so #consolelog will indicate the index of the last item added but if it wraps the current first index may not be 1.

in my code "foreach consolelog table.insert(self.alllogs " logs is empty !

lua how to get all logs to remove duplicate lines frist and save to file?
not direct save to file because duplicate lines is file too big.

IMO you'd be better off logging everything then using uniq to remove duplicate lines afterward.
