Getting the variable from a "double-array"

[dmakatra]

Hellöw all.

I have a slight situation 'ere. You see, arrays are really powerful, though I'm not really good with 'em. I have this double array which is built up like this:

dudearray = [["Whatever", 2, 3, 1, 6], ["Whatever2", 2, 8, 3]]

Now, I wanna access the elements in those array-arrays, so to speak. You guys understand? Cheers for the help!

Quite. The first element of that two-element array you would get by doing

Code: [Select]

firstelement = dudearray select 0The result of that operation would be that firstelement would have the value ["Whatever",2,3,1,6].
To get the second element of dudearray one would do

Code: [Select]

secondelement = dudearray select 1That operation would make secondelement have the value ["Whatever2",2,8,3].

Summary: in this example, dudearray is an array of arrays aka a multi-dimensional array. As you can see, the elements of that array are arrays too.

To select an element in one of the arrays you have this...

Code: [Select]

_array = [ 33,79, [s4,20,1], 25]
_a = (_array select 2) select 1
Select 2 means you are selecting the 3 element in the whole array
That's [s4,20,1]
select 1 is the second element in that array,
so _a = 20

other example

Code: [Select]

_array = [ [1,"hello"], [L4,20,1], 25]
_b = (_array select 0) select 1
select 0 is the array [1,"hello"]
select 1 is the second element  in that array
_b = "hello"

OK, that's good stuff. Cheers!
