Re: array: can it be returned by a function?

[Oliver Hardt]

David: thank you very much -- it appears that i simply did not understand that in order to put the values of the array into a field (or message box), i need to use the combine command. you solved my problem! thanks a lot! best, olli.

I wrote this:
on mouseUp
put 1 & tab & 2 & tab & 3 & tab & 4 into pKeys
put "Freddo" & tab & "Frog" & tab & "was" & tab & "here" into pData
get gf_LoadPPRec(pData,pKeys)
combine it with return and comma
put it into field "f2"
end mouseUp

function gF_LoadPPRec pData,pKeys
put empty into lPPArray
set the itemDelimiter to tab
repeat with i = 1 to the number of items of pKeys
put item i of pData into lPPArray[(item i of pKeys)]
end repeat
return lPPArray
end gF_LoadPPRec

which you can see includes your untouched function. It simply exercises it; and it worked perfectly, producing:
1,Freddo
2,Frog
3,was
4,here
