This will work with any array. It recursively calls itself as it encounters
arrays within arrays. I agree with Richard that if all you want is one shot at
an array to find the element(s) you are looking for, then this may (or may not)
be a cleaner approach, but I think if you are taking multiple passes at
finding/filtering with an array, this will at least get you there. If filtering
with multiple passes, remember to put the text of the array in another variable
as filter *replaces* the contents of the source variable with the results.
Here is the function. Thinking about it, I suppose you could modify this to
include a filter parameter so that only the keys matching the filter would be
returned.

function altPrintKeys @pArray, theKeyList
put numtochar(11) into vertTab
put numtochar(30) into altCr
put the keys of pArray into theKeys
sort theKeys numeric
repeat FOR each line theKey in theKeys
put "[" & theKey & "] " after theKeyList
if theKey is not a number then
replace "[" & theKey & "]" WITH "[" & quote & theKey & quote & "]"
in theKeyList
end if
if pArray[theKey] is an array then
put pArray[theKey] into theTempArray
put altPrintKeys(theTempArray, theKeyList, pFullData) after theText
put empty into the last word of theKeyList
delete the last char of theKeyList
put cr into the last char of theText
else
put "pArray " & the last word of theKeyList into theKeyName
-- put "put " & theKeyName & " into theValue" into theCommand
-- do theCommand
put value(theKeyName) into theValue
replace tab WITH vertTab in theValue
replace return WITH altCr in theValue
put theKeyList & tab & theValue & comma after theText
put empty into the last word of theKeyList
delete the last char of theKeyList
end if
end repeat
return theText
end altPrintKeys
