This code will output a comma and semicolon delimited string which you can
place in a file action.  Note that the funny indentation is important, and
be sure there are NOT any extra carriage returns after the last line.

<@ROWS ARRAY=foo
        ><@COLS
                ><@IF EXPR="<@CURCOL> > 1">,</@IF
                ><@OMIT <@VAR local$foo[<@CURROW>,<@CURCOL>]> ",;"
        ></@COLS
>;</@ROWS>

This format is the default format for the <@ARRAY> tag, so when you read the
file back in, you can just specify the file contents as the value of the
array:

<@ASSIGN local$foo <@ARRAY VALUE=<@VAR fileContentsFromRead>>>

If the thing you are writing is likely to contain commas and semicolons
choose two different characters.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Storing Arrays


I am generating an array from a search action and writing it to a file.

I then wish to retrieve it later an use and an array.

When I write it to a file it is written as a HTML table.

When I read it back from the file it is a single var containing the HTML
table and data.

Can I specify a more relevant format for saving the array (tab delimited?).

How do I read it back and interpret it as an array?

Wayne Irvine.
