terrypin Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 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. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote
Cory Posted February 3, 2009 Report Posted February 3, 2009 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! Array_Demo.mex Quote
paul Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 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>! Quote

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. -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK Quote
