David, Nope you have to sort them NUMERIC. As you said this is the only way I know of. I do this all the time. I don't know of any other way.
put the keys of tMyArray into tKeys sort lines of tKeys numeric repeat for each line tKey in tKeys -- do what you want with tMyArray[tKey] -- this line will put the array data in the message box (assuming there is no other sub keys in each numeric array entry). put tMyArray[tKey] into tMyVar end repeat Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net -----Original Message----- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of David Bovill via use-livecode Sent: Wednesday, September 02, 2020 10:55 AM To: How to use LiveCode Cc: David Bovill Subject: Looping though a numerically indexed array I’m pretty sure there must be a way to efficiently loop through numerically indexed arrays Repeat for each key and repeat for each element does not seem to sort the keys in numeric order,. Of course I can get the keys and sort them before repeating - but is there a more efficient way? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
