But you can force case sensitivity in LC: ... set the casesensitive to TRUE answer theArray[« Ddt »] ## -> NADA! answer theArray[« ddt »] ## Will do what you want. ... > Best regards > François Best Klaus -- Klaus Major https://www.major-k.de https://www.major-k.de/bass kl...@major-k.de ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: case sensitivity of the keys in an associative array
Not quite. It is dependent on the value of "casesensitive". If you do set the casesensitve to true then the keys are different (i.e. Ddt would NOT replace the existing value for ddt) but if it is false (which it would be by default) thne DDt and ddt are teh same. [Only tested on 10.0.0 DP4 - but I think that's how it's always been] Alex. on mouseup local tA put 1 into tA["a"] put "1" && the keys of tA after msg set the casesensitive to true put 2 into tA["A"] put "2" && tA["a"] && the keys of tA after msg end mouseup On 23/08/2022 15:31, francois.chaplais via use-livecode wrote: Dear list From my current work on a LiveCode project, it seems that the keys of an associative array are not case sensitive. For instance, I may define theArray[« Ddt »] If I define now theArray[« ddt »] this entry replaces the previous one (forgive apple mail which replaces my double quotes by french double quotes) Is this behavior confirmed?
