Hello!
The documentation mentions:
In addition there is a special form of array index that can be
used to access fields in a field list
(see 10.1) by index instead of by name. This special form of
array index starts with a + sign as the
first character after the opening [ as shown in the following
example:
<!-- a sample field list -->
<fieldlist>
<field name="NAME" type="string"/>
<field name="TEL_1" type="telephone"/>
<field name="TEL_2" type="telephone"/>
<field name="TEL_3" type="telephone"/>
</fieldlist>
/* sample script to access the telephone numbers by index
instead of by name */
integer i;
telephone a,b,c;
a = TEL_1[+0]; // this is the same as: a=TEL_1
b = TEL_1[+1]; // this is the same as: b=TEL_2
c = TEL_1[+2]; // this is the same as: c=TEL_3
Does this also work for fields which are arrays? Like this:
<field name="TEL" array="yes" type="telephone"
compare="conflict"/>
<field name="TEL_FLAGS" array="yes" type="integer"
compare="conflict"/> <!-- offset 0 -->
<field name="TEL_LABEL" array="yes" type="string"
compare="conflict"/> <!-- offset 1 -->
<field name="TEL_ID" array="yes" type="integer"
compare="conflict"/> <!-- offset 2 -->
<field name="TEL_SLOT" array="yes" type="integer" compare="never"/>
<!-- offset 3 -->
a = TEL[+1][3]; // same as TEL_FLAGS[3]
I tried it briefly, but got a syntax error which implied that the first
square brackets were treated like a normal array index in TEL.
What would it take to make this work?
