Peter: FYI multi-dimensional arrays are awesome. I use to be "scared" of them,
but in RevIgniter we have all kinds of things like
galleriaShow["options"]["width"]["805]
and even more… so I had go understand it.
And, on top of this you can have an array "inside" a key/value (where the
value is
OK, I’ll test the two methods when I get the general procedure working.

It'll be a little faster, and to my eye much more readable.
"Do" is
Yes, “do” does it. Thank you Ralph and Bob.
Richard, I’ve heard that “do” is slow because it must be compiled every time. I
am reiterating this possibly hundreds of times, so it is probably much better
to combine the arrays into a Big Array?

Whenever you have a collection of variables whose names may be variable, an
array is a natural fit.
LiveCode supports n-dimensional arrays, so you could use:

This is called macro substitution in other languages. You would use the form
array&tvar in Foxpro for instance. LC has no macro Substitution. Instead:
put "put tArray" & tVar & "[temp] into tText" & tVar into tCommand
replace "temp" with quote & "text" & quote in tCommand
do tCommand

Subject: Using a variable for an array name
I have arrays:
tArray1
tArray2
tArray3
tArray4
I want to get data from one of them:
put “tArr
I have arrays:
tArray1
tArray2
tArray3
tArray4
I want to get data from one of them:
put “tArray” & “1” into tVar
put tVar [“Text”] into tText1
tText1 is empty.
Is there a way to get the data from the arrays without doing this kind of thing
for each array:
put tArray1 [“Text”] into tText1
