That causes an execution error at line 16 when i = 6, and it tries to set the
itemDel to empty.
After changing
repeat with i = 2 to paramCount() step 2
to
repeat with i = 2 to paramCount()-1 step 2
it works.
Good catch, Dick. Your presence on this list is a good argument for the
benefits of peer code review.
Funny thing is I'd first written it with the "-1", but after reviewing
it later I couldn't recall why that seemed like a good idea, and since
it worked well on the sample exercise without it I thought I was just
being overzealous and removed it. Moral: when coffee-deprived, trust
your instincts. :)
I'd only tested it on the use-case given in the earlier posts because I
couldn't think of one I'd need myself.
For three levels deep I use lines and items, and then change the itemdel
to get something within an item.
For four or more levels I just use arrays.
I can see the benefit of having human-readable n-depth serialization,
but I have to wonder if maybe using a widely adopted convention like
YAML might serve such needs better. JSON's good too, but YAML is so
much more writable.
Anyone here have YAMLtoArray/ArrayToYAML handlers?
