Pretty much, yes. I didn't ask my original question correctly. I want to

I think others have answered this well. Essentially multidimensional arrays
are arrays with arrays as elements. x[a][b] = (x[a])[b]
However, you might be interested in this enhancement request:
Bug 6820 - Pass array element by reference
This would allow any level to be passed by reference to u
it would be
useful to have that very thing:
put elementsOrArray(theArray,theElement) into newArray
as a native function.

Subject: Re: Manipulating parts of a multi-dimensional
I'm not sure to understand your question correctly.
if your array has four "first level" elements: myArray["a"]myArray["b"]
myArray["c"]myArray["d"]
and that e.g. myArray["c"] has three "second level" elements myArray["c"]["x"]
myArray["c"]["y"]myArray["c"]["z"]
which in turn
Jacque.
You are asking for a function "the elements of key[yourKey]"
or
"the elements of key[yourKey1][yourkey2][yourKey3}"
This should be a feature request, like yesterday.

Can you borrow b, work on it, then put it back? Like:
on m
