William, you've got the idea. Arrays are really useful in these
circumstances, and are really worth becoming familiar with.
Best,

I'm having trouble sorting this out. I have a function that

lines of tab delimited text. The number of lines varies from one to

result from the search is two things. A data element and a pointer

which kind of data element. Sometimes the result is one data
element and one
pointer and sometimes the result is another quantity like three data
elements each with their identifier. To have this returned by the
function
it seems I need an array. I'm inexperienced at using arrays but I
imagine
that you just build it in the function and that is what is returned
and then
the identifiers for each data element are the keys and it makes no
difference how many lines are in the array? Perhaps I also return a
counter
which says how many lines of data are in the array?
