If the switch becomes too much large you can use a string mixin to shrink it to few lines. I had thought of the switch, and it would be too large. Can you give me an idea of what the mixin solution would look like? Suppose I have three strings, type, rows, and cols that get set at runtime, where type = ["int" | "float" | "short"], rows and cols = ["100" | "200" | "250"]. What I want is to take these 3 variables and come up with: foo!(int[100][100])(...) foo!(int[100][200])(...) ... foo!(short[250][250])(...) for the right cases, without switching on type, rows, or cols. Thanks again. Jason
