[PD] Array with text named indices?
Hi all, Does anybody know of a way of storing a bunch of data in an array-style container that uses a text-based name instead of an index number to lookup values? Hopefully with a save to disk feature? (like textfile) Basically I'm looking for an object that can store something like... blahBlahBlahItem 0.5678; strawberryJam 71; underwearForSwimming 0; endangeredLunchbox 1; It seems that I could use textfile for this but my programming is cumbersome for anything that's not just adding to the list. (i.e. changing the value of 'endangeredLunchbox' to 2.) And I seem to have to traverse most of the textfile until I receive a symbol match for lookup? Thanks in advance as always, John. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
