How to output oTable to an external Var for further data manipulation

Say we have a table of 100 customer records with unique field "id" and field "name". In datatable, only customer names starting with alphabet "A" is filtered. So for example there are 5 customers with names starting with an "A".

If I wish to output these 5 records into a Var for further external data manipulation, how can I call on oTable (presumably) to output the 5 customer records into an array for external data manipulations?

    This sounds basically like a duplicate of your other discussion here: http://datatables.net/forums/discussion/19239/how-to-save-otable-to-mysql .

    Please do not post duplicates - this is very clearly stated in the forum rules.

    In answer to your question, you could use fnGetData to get the data for a row.
