Re: [flexcoders] Searching Multi Demensional arrays

[ivo]

since the path will be unique for each object it could serve as the key in a 
hash. 

mapPathToObj[obj1.path] = obj


only works for exact matches tho, if you are looking for substrings then you 
will need to iterate over the nodes.

Subject: [flexcoders] Searching Multi Demensional arrays


I have an infinite number of  objects & child objects that looks something like 
this below. I know this if it was just one level I could probably accomplish 
what i need but I am not sure how to do this. All of the "path" items are 
always going to be unique. Is there a way to search (drilling down as far as 
needed) and say give me the object where path = "xyz";
