Dynamic named lua objects

Lets imagine this:

tree = {}
tree.__newindex = tree

num = math.random(5,5)

tree.meta = {}

What I want to do here is replace the 'meta' in tree.meta with the var num without it creating a new object just simply called num. That way I can do something like tree.01415 for example. Maybe there is some syntax that I can put in there to designate meta as the variable num?

If I understand you correctly, I think this is what you want:

tree[num] = "whatever"

Then whatever will be added to table tree with the value of num as its key.
