Background
I have an ets table with several objects in it. I want to, with 1 single operation, retrieve all keys and objects my table has.
Using match
I tried using match like this:
table = :ets.new(:table, [:public])
:ets.insert(table, [{:a, 0}, {:b, 1}, {:c, 2}])
:ets.match(table, '$1')
However it always returns empty.
What am I doing wrong?

:ets.tab2listis the best way to dump a whole table. Setting that aside though, is the code you posted supposed to show the issue? You aren’t inserting anything into the table.Also Liked
