[julia-users] How to create Array of Dict{ASCIIString,Any}

[Christopher Fisher]

Hi all-

I'm trying to create an Array of Dict{ASCIIString,Any}. What I have right 
now is similar to this:

Stimuli = [Dict("slots" => Dict("name"=> i,"list"=> 1)) for i = 1:10]

I want to build in the flexibility so I can add an entry later in the code:

Stimuli[1]["time"] = .234

but I get the following error because its the wrong type

MethodError: `convert` has no method matching 
convert(::Type{Dict{ASCIIString,Int64}}, ::Float64)

I could add a fake entry to allow future additions:

Stimuli = [Dict("slots" => Dict("name"=> i,"list"=> 1), "fakeEntry" => 1) 
for i = 1:10]
Stimuli[1]["time"] = .234
0.234

This works but it is not ideal to populate the dictionary with extraneous 
entries.  What is the proper way to create an Array of 
Dict{ASCIIString,Any}?

Thanks,

Chris
