DaSpammer has graciously coded a trainer for me, and I am attempting to apply the trainer to other games. Here are parts of the code to identify what I have and what I'm looking at doing.
Code:

trainer =    {
            Data =    {
                        Characters =    {
                                          [0] = "Mariah-Mage"; -- Table auto selects characters based alphabet order... so we will append the characters to the groupbox using value index.
                                          [1] = "Iolo-Bard";
                                          [2] = "Geoff-Fighter";
                                          [3] = "Jaana-Druid";
                                          [4] = "Julius-Tinker";
                                          [5] = "Dupre-Paladin";
                                          [6] = "Shamino-Ranger";
                                          [7] = "Katrina-Shepard";
                                          [8] = "No One";

                                          ["Mariah-Mage"] = 0; -- Index of radiogroup
                                          ["Iolo-Bard"] = 1;
                                          ["Geoff-Fighter"] = 2;
                                          ["Jaana-Druid"] = 3;
                                          ["Julius-Tinker"] = 4;
                                          ["Dupre-Paladin"] = 5;
                                          ["Shamino-Ranger"] = 6;
                                          ["Katrina-Shepard"] = 7;
                                          ["No One"] = 8;
                                       };
                        Stats =   { -- Exp and level, need to try only one line as all the stats are equal
                                    {{1,99};{2,199};{3,399};{4,799};{5,1599};{6,3199};{7,6399};};
                                    {{1,99};{2,199};{3,399};{4,799};{5,1599};{6,3199};{7,6399};};
                                    {{1,99};{2,199};{3,399};{4,799};{5,1599};{6,3199};{7,6399};};
                                    {{1,99};{2,199};{3,399};{4,799};{5,1599};{6,3199};{7,6399};};
                                    {{1,99};{2,199};{3,399};{4,799};{5,1599};{6,3199};{7,6399};};
                                    {{1,99};{2,199};{3,399};{4,799};{5,1599};{6,3199};{7,6399};};
                                    {{1,99};{2,199};{3,399};{4,799};{5,1599};{6,3199};{7,6399};};
                                    {{1,99};{2,199};{3,399};{4,799};{5,1599};{6,3199};{7,6399};};
                                    {};
                                 };
                        goldoffset = {--goldoffset to be used in Recalculation function
                                        {0x92};
                                        {0x94};
                                        {0x96};

                                        {0xA0};
                                        {};
                                     };
                      };
             };
function trainer:start()

...

...
   self.characters_rg = createRadioGroup(self.form);
   self.characters_rg.Caption = "Hero";
   self.characters_rg.height = 190;
   self.characters_rg.width = 130;
   self.characters_rg.top = 165;
   self.characters_rg.left = 5;
   for character,_ in pairs(self.Data.Characters) do
      if tonumber(character) then
         self.characters_rg.getItems().add(_);
      end
   end
   self.characters_rg.onClick =    function (sender)
                                    local index = strings_getString(sender.getItems(), sender.ItemIndex);
                                    local i = nil;
                                    i = self.Data.Characters[index] + 1;
                                    if i then
                                       heroname = index;
                                       if heroname == "No One" then
                                          heroname = nil;
                                       else
                                       end;
                                       self.listview.clear();
                                       for _,__table in pairs(self.Data.Stats[i]) do
                                          local entry = self.listview.getItems().add();
                                          entry.Caption = __table[1];
                                          local subentry = entry.getSubItems().add(__table[2]);
                                       end;

Up to here is what DaSpammer coded and works without errors.
The following piece of code is mine trying to obtain the goldoffset from the goldoffset table.
Code:
 
                                       for _table in(self.Data.goldoffset[i]) do
                                          local goldoffset = self.Data.getItems()
                                          goldoffset.Caption = _table[0];
                                          goldoffset = self.Data.goldoffset[i];
                                       end;
                                    end;
                                 end;
...

...
   self.form.show();
   end;
trainer:start();



When I select a button on the radio group the level and experience is loaded into a list view correctly, as stated above.
But I get an error message "Error:[string "--..."]:454: attempt to call a table value". Yes I am trying to load a table value but I don't have the correct syntax.

So what would the correct syntax be to load the table value and then set it to a variable goldoffset that will be used in another function?

With .Data.goldoffset as in the previous post, I changed the code with your suggestions.
Code:
                                       for _table in(self.Data.goldoffset[i]) do
                                        local goldoffset = self.listview.getItems().add();
                                        goldoffset.Caption = _table[0];
                                        goldoffset = self.Data.goldoffset[i];
                                        print("The gold offset (goldoffset) is ", goldoffset);
                                       end;


Received the continued error message:
Error:[string "--..."]:454: attempt to call a table value

In fact I commented out all lines within the for statement:
Code:
                                       for _table in(self.Data.goldoffset[i]) do
                                        --local goldoffset = self.listview.getItems().add();
                                        --goldoffset.Caption = _table[0];
                                        --goldoffset = self.Data.goldoffset[i];
                                          --print("The gold offset (goldoffset) is ", goldoffset);
                                       end;


I continue to get the same error message.

Secondly, why have the statement ?
.Data.goldoffset has no direct relationship with .Data.Stats other than data relating to the hero selected by the button pushed in the radio group.
Code:
local goldoffset = self.listview.getItems().add();

                                       goldoffset = self.Data.goldoffset[1][1];  -- this is the gold offset
                                    end;
                                 end;

You probably missed type but [1][1] should be [i][1] and that works, however as you indicated another item is added to the list view. Is there a command to make just that last entry in the list view invisible. It looks kind of out of place in the list view.

EDIT: I commented out
Code:
self.listview.getItems().add().Caption = self.Data.goldoffset[1][1];


The code line you suggested still works and the entry isn't in the list view.
Thanks
