Jeremy,
$o.array[1] will do it.
Take note of the square brackets, and be aware that the index starts from 0,
not 1
However, what you are trying to do can be accomplished much easier using a key
pair object without a matched arrays.
Before:
Array_Names{1} = "Tag_Name"
Array Values{1} = text //all values must be the same type
New:
C_Object($0)
$0:=new object("Tag Name";"text";"a different Tag name ";453432;"Tag3";Current
date)
If you need multiple different objects like that one, use collections
C_Collections($Settings)
$Settings:=new collection
$Settings.push(new object("Tag Name";"text";"a different Tag name
";453432;"Tag3";Current date))
$Settings.push(new object("Tag Name";"Different text";"a different Tag name
";5;"Tag3";Yesterday))
Etc.

Subject: Re: Arrays in objects
Kirk,
Thanks - very helpful. What I was hoping to do was to build a couple of text
arrays in a method; return them in an object; and then use them directly in
calls to HTTP methods, something like this:
C_OBJECT($headers)
$headers:=BuildHeaders // returns object containing matched arrays
$status:=HTTP Get($url; $response; $headers.names; $headers.values)
Is that possible, or must I extract the names and values arrays from the
returned object before use? I’m using v17R4.
