For example, to retrieve a numeric output named ''​patchCount''​ and a table output named ''​filteredPatches'' ​— the ''​String $"​(...)"''​ wrapper around the Python code is explained in [[#​writing_the_expression_in_ego_script|Writing the expression in EGO Script]] below:

The first inner list must be the header row. As with any table (see [[ego_script#​constants|Constants]]),​ each column'​s type is inferred from its own values: a column of ''​int''/''​float''​ values produces a Real column, a column of ''​str''​ values produces a String column.

The first inner list must be the header row.+Converts a list of lists into a lookup table ready to be assigned to an output. The first inner list must be the header row. Lookup tables are always Real-typed on both key and value sides — there is no String option — so every value in ''​lut''​ must be numeric.

Column types are inferred the same way as ''​dinamica.prepareTable()''​ — except for a flat list, which always produces a Real-typed lookup table with sequential keys, matching the Real-only rule for lookup tables.
