MACRO_RESULT and array

[bernd001]

Hi!

Is it possible to pass an array into MACRO_RESULT?

I tried following:

MyScript.scp:

Code: Select all

Let>ReturnArray[0]=a
Let>ReturnArray[1]=b
Let>MACRO_RESULT=ReturnArray

Main.scp

Code: Select all

Macro>%SCRIPT_DIR%\MyScript.scp
Let>MyArray=%MACRO_RESULT%
Let>MyFirstValue=MyArray[0]
Mesage>MyFirstValue

But I don't get the expected value a in the message...

Can anybody help?

Thanks a lot,
Bernd

I'm not a programmer so my understanding of programming terminology is sometimes way off. My understanding is that a variable name followed by braces around a number is not an array. An array is a variable that contains multiple values. A variable name followed by sequential numbers is a method to store or access the array's individual elements.

So think of MACRO_RESULT as an array variable. Put all of the values you want to pass from script "A" into MACRO_RESULT. Then return MACRO_RESULT back into its original elements in Script "B"

Script A

Code: Select all

Let>MaxReturnArray=5
Let>ReturnArray[1]=a
Let>ReturnArray[2]=b
Let>ReturnArray[3]=c
Let>ReturnArray[4]=d
Let>ReturnArray[5]=e

Let>MACRO_RESULT=
Let>Counter=0
Repeat>Counter
Add>Counter,1
Let>Value=ReturnArray[%Counter%]
Concat>MACRO_RESULT,%Value%%CRLF%
Until>Counter,MaxReturnArray

Script B

Code: Select all

Macro>%SCRIPT_DIR%\Script_A.scp
Let>Counter=0
Separate>%MACRO_RESULT%,%CRLF%,MyArray
//Next line is needed since we added an extra %CRLF%
Sub>MyArray_Count,1
Repeat>Counter
Add>Counter,1
Let>MyValue=MyArray_%Counter%
MessageModal>My number %Counter% value = %MyValue%
Until>Counter,MyArray_Count

Hi JRL,

Thanks a lot!
Actually, the solution is not as expected, but the workaround is working and that is what counts

Cheers,
