I'm not very interested in a push and pop functions, but what I have been wanting for quite some time is really good row and column operations on 2 dimensional numerically index arrays. LC Bugzilla entries 670, 4623, 7243, and 9950 are a few enhancements requests related to this need I really want to have chunk expressions for a 2D array, such as "put row 3 of somearray into tVar" OR, the really handy one, "put column 5 of myArray into AColumn" and even things like "get word 2 of first row of last column of anotherarray" Similar with "delete row 7" or "put empty into column 6" or " put 0 into column 6" (replace all cells in column 6 with zero). Also an associated modifications to "split" and "combine" to turn delimited (typically tab and cr) data into a 2D numerically indexed array and 2D numerically index arrays into delimited data Obviously, these functions can be coded (and have been) as LC script handlers, but I find myself working with table data frequently enough that I really would like them to be part of the engine. _______________________________________________ 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
