Hi, Bob. Here's an example for a simple array. Put it into a script and run
"test1" from the message box.
Does it work for you?
-- Dick
<postscript>
function subarrayForNameContainsString @rArray, pString
local tArray
repeat for each key tKey in rArray
if rArray[ tKey ][ "name" ] contains pString then
put rArray[ tKey ] into tArray[ tKey ]
end if
end repeat
return tArray
end subarrayForNameContainsString
on test1
local tArray, tSubarray
put "Betty" into tArray[ 123 ][ "name" ]
put "Bob" into tArray[ 234 ][ "name" ]
put "carpenter" into tArray[ 234 ][ "occupation" ]
put subarrayForNameContainsString( tArray, "Bob" ) into tSubarray
breakpoint
end test1
</postscript>
