Hi,

For table name, we can use space or special character when using stiring type.

However for the structure varailble,it doesn't work. Is there a way to have space in structure field names?

thanks,

You could use underscore in place of space.

This sounds like you are putting meta-data into the fieldnames. Remember that meta-data is data, and data belongs in variables not in their field/variable names. forcing meta-data into field/variable names will make your code fragile (e.g. like this question hints at), slow, and complex. Best avoided.

Another option is to use dictionaries, which are a bit more similar to structs than tables, e.g.

secretID=["Steve Rogers", "Tony Stark", "Donald Blake"];
hero=["Captain America","Iron Man","Thor"];
d=dictionary(secretID,hero);
out = d("Steve Rogers")
out = "Captain America"
