You can use square brackets to have tables like yours. For instance: new (tabletype, @workspace.["1.a.3.c.5.e"])

I actually wanted to have a subtables for each dot-delimited item! Your suggestion will create one table, but it should create a six-level hierarchy.

I now found this solution for it:

objectName="1.a.3.c.5.e";
objectName="[\""+string.ReplaceAll(objectName,".",""].["")+"\"]";
table.surePath(objectName);
new(tableType,address(objectName));

I can go with this for a while. The problem for me is, that I may have dots in the names, which should not create a sublevel! But this has to be solved elsewhere....
