Given this scenario:
We fetch a preference array from some json on disk
We want to insert the key-values into separate discrete local vars in the stack
script
function getUserPreferences
# the following function fetches an object in a JSON file:
put getPref ("preferences/modules/color-meditation") into aColorMedPrefs
# aColorMedPrefs now appears in variable watcher with keys
# aColorMedPrefs["BreathCount"] # value = 5
# aColorMedPrefs["BreathPace,"] # value = 1
# aColorMedPrefs["Cycles "] # value = 2
# aColorMedPrefs["AudioOn"] # value = "true"
# we want to pass each to a discrete local:
# sBreathCount,sBreathPace,sCycles,sAudioOn
repeat for each key x in aColorMedPrefs
put "s" & x into tNextPref
put aColorMedPrefs[x] into tNextPref
put tNextPref & comma after tSettings
end repeat
return tSettings
# result: "5,1,2,true" i.e. the values
# But what we really want to do was insert those values in the local vars on
each iteration.
return (sBreathCount,sBreathPace,sCycles,sAudioOn) # would also return
"5,1,2,true" # but we get ",,," i.e now values.
end getUserPreferences
------------
i.e. how do we dynamically create/name/instantiate variables & set their values
from values in a loop?
it begs for some syntax like
create var ("s" & x); put x into the last var
