Having thought about this I was intending to use the SAME list variable to represent multiple property keys i.e. as I type keys (to traverse a menu tree) I was hoping to use the key "trail" at any point (stored as a list) as a unique key.
Having now realised what == means...it looks like pointer equivalence rules this approach out and I'm just wondering if there is a way around this... Any thoughts much appreciated Best Regards Dean On 12 December 2016 at 08:51, dean <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you for the clarification. > > On 12 December 2016 at 06:19, Alexander Burger <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> Hi Dean, >> >> > On 11 December 2016 at 20:06, Alexander Burger <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> > >> > > On Sun, Dec 11, 2016 at 07:05:13PM +0000, dean wrote: >> > > > but I'd like a list of letters to be a single key. >> > > > Is this not possible? >> > > Properties are handled (searched) by pointer-equality, the '==' >> function. >> >> I should have mentioned that you can indeed use non-symbolic keys in other >> contexts, like 'assoc', 'idx' (and 'cache') and of course database >> indexes. >> >> - Alex >> -- >> UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe >> > >
