Well, since I seem inadvertently to have started this off, let me take a first stab at this: An array is just a collection of things. A simple example: -- good form to declare a local variable local strDayOfWeek -- now let's use it as an array on InitializeWeekDays put "Sunday" into strDayOfWeek[1] put "Monday" into strDayOfWeek[2] put "Tuesday" into strDayOfWeek[3] put "Wednesday" into strDayOfWeek[4] put "Thursday" into strDayOfWeek[5] put "Friday" into strDayOfWeek[6] put "Saturday" into strDayOfWeek[7] on InitializeWeekDays --Then... put strDayOfWeek[6] --or function DayOfWeek intDayNumber return strDayOfWeek[intDayNumber] end DayOfWeek put DayOfWeek(6) would give you "Friday" As with anything programmatic, there are any number of ways to do a given task - you can certainly do the above without using an array, and using an array may not be the best approach for a given task. I generally use arrays when I have a number of similar objects to keep track of and I want to deal with them in a consistent way. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
