What is the point of an varArray[] or how do they work that a var won't do ? If I need more then 1 var use 2 var's or more wouldn't do it ? Or
set itemDelimiter to tab
get item 1 of line 1
of myVar if I need to explicitly create the array's and put every thing separately ?
Sometimes arrays are useful this way. For instance, if you have an array "CurrentUser", the array may look like this inside -
CurrentUser["Name"] = "John Doe" CurrentUser["Job"] = "Junior Programmer" CurrentUser["Contract"] = TRUE
and so on. Then, it can be more sensible to locate the specific information desired, and it keeps the user's information together. Using "the lines" in this case would be a bit messier to deal with. In general, arrays are an organizational tool, and there is nothing that says you MUST use them. It is useful for those who come to transcript that are used to other languages, or those with specific data handling needs best met with variables that have a more rigid structure.
Also the array's are like horizontal rows ,what's doing with rows (or a 2 dimension array) ?
If I use a varArray [] in a repeat e.g.
repeat for each line myL in varArray[]
--could I take info from which array I want do the lines work together ?
if "A" then put line myL of varArray[1] else put line myL of varArray[2]
end repeat--will it return item 2 of line 1 , if myL is the first line?
Have you actually tried it? What result did it give you?
