RE: Using a variable for an array name

[Ralph DiMola via use-livecode]

"Do" will do the trick.

Repeat with tVarNum = 1 to 4
 do "put"&&tArray&VarNum&"["&WrapQ("Text")&"] into tText"&tVarNum
 do "put"&&tArray&VarNum&"["&WrapQ("SomeOtherArrayValue")&"] into 
tSomeOtherArrayValue"&tVarNum
end repeat

function WrapQ pString
 return quote&pString&quote
end WrapQ

Subject: Using a variable for an array name

I have arrays:
tArray1
tArray2
tArray3
tArray4


I want to get data from one of them:

put “tArray” & “1” into tVar
put tVar [“Text”] into tText1

tText1 is empty.



Is there a way to get the data from the arrays without doing this kind of thing 
for each array:

put tArray1 [“Text”] into tText1
put tArray2 [“Text”] into tText2

Thanks!

Peter Bogdanoff
