Using a variable as an array index?

[terrypin]

Although I've studied the thread http://pgmacros.invisionzone.com/index.php...83&hl=array in which mfseeker suggested a way to achieve this, so far I've had no success. And I see nothing in Help about it.

 

Can anyone post a simple example please? I've been trying to process a set of text values with a Repeat loop, to get all the values into T[1], T[2], T[3], etc, but I'm stumped.

Here's a simple example. It will ask you for the year make and model of 3 cars and then play them back for you. Both ends use an index integer variable created from a repeat command.

 

It had been a long time since I used arrays but I was boning up on them again learning VB and I realized I was thinking of arrays like rows of data when I should have been thinking about them as columns of data. This way we can have easily accessible tabular data without having to resort to sticking it in a file and using ASCII repeat.

 

I hope this helps!

A one-dimensional array is indeed like a single row of multiple columns.

But a two-dimensional array is like many rows and many columns.

And then there's 3, 4, 5, ....n <g>!

Sure does, thanks Cory!

 

I'm pretty sure that the reason I was getting in a mess was that I was using N and T in commands like this

Variable Set String %T[%N%]% from the clipboard contents.
