What about using "after" if you want order instead of "into."
"After" could cause order for those that need it. It would be great
for me because I could do this:
"put thisData after myArray[1][1]"
"put myArray[1][1][4] into holdParameterImageList"
I would not need to identify positions with keys if I were just
populating the Array like a List.
As it is now I must force it together with "into."
"put thisData into myArray[1][1][4]"
I think both ways is the best options. Sometimes you want meaningful
keys. Now that I think about it you are getting meaningful keys and
numerical positions at the same time with "into."
That was a lot of help. I just think that "after" might make it
clear that it should go in order.
Hi Mark,
Indeed I think we could have both ways in Revolution and it wouldn't
affect how arrays currently work. I think it would make arrays even
more flexible.
In regards to using "after" - the one problem I see with this approach
would be that after is already used for appending values to a
variable. I'm not sure how the parser could determine whether you
wanted to add another element to the array or append thisData to the
current value of myArray[1][1]. Perhaps some sort of variant to the
syntax might work though.
