What about using the builtin lua function:
table.getn(table)
--Subenji99 06:54, 13 July 2009 (CEST)
table.getn was replaced by the #-operator, which returns the number of table elements with a numerical (!) index.
table.size counts all elements regardless of which type their index is.
Of course it's a bad idea to use this function for a table with only numerical indices.
