I decide to study up to improve my array management skills. Looked up the dictionary: element, columnDel, RowDelimiter etc Tools I never used. But I can't fine a "one pass" split that takes a dBase dump like this and makes a 2nd dimension. Other than to do it "manually"
Also I thought, after reading the dictionary, that the "element" would be "1" in uDataArray[1][someValue] But instead I was getting "someValue" -- so I am not understanding something there. ===== apples|https://www.washington.com/neutral orange|https://www.california.com|citrus peaches|https://www.idaho.com|sweet ======= ## this works, but I wonder if it is optimal. local aSetUp,aDataArray put [thelist] into aSetUp put "fruit" into t1Element put "url" into t2Element put "category" into t3Element split aSetup by cr set itemdel to "|" Repeat for each line x in (the keys of aSetup) put item 1 of aSetUp[x] into aDataArray[x][t1Element] put item 2 of aSetUp[x] into aDataArray[x][t2Element] put item 3 of aSetUp[x] into aDataArray[x][t3Element] end repeat BR _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
