I guess I have always thought of it as...... Split a text block into compartments of keys and values (an array)
Combine all the compartments of an array into one text block, and now you can use Rev chunking commands such as word 2 of line 5 of textBlockLines put the number of lines in textBlockLines replace comma with ";" in textBlockLines put textBlockLines into field "display array" ( you can't put an array into a field ) --removing text filter textBlockLines without "*junk*" put textBlockLines into cleanArray split cleanArray using cr and tab --debugging you could do get cleanArray combine it using cr and tab put it into msg -- custom properties get the customproperties of this stack --it is now an array combine it using cr and tab put it into msg --now you can see all the keys and values that are stored It can be confusing until you start working with the Rev version of arrays. As many have said before, knowing how arrays work in other programs does not give you a clear idea for Transcript.
