getArrayString

Syntax

int putArrayString(int nr, int index, string str)

Arguments

Number of the array to store the string in. Values from 0 to 99 are accepted.

index

The index/position number in the array where you want to store the string

str

The string value to be stored

Return

Returns true / 1 if the string was stored successfully. Returns false / 0 if the array is out of range, not allocated, or if the string is too large to be stored in the array.

Description

Stores a string into an element of one of the built-in arrays.

Comment

Note that you must allocate space for the array first using the allocArray function, otherwise these functions will fail.

Example

%ffp

ctl(0): combobox, "Harry\nJim\nSally",val=0,action=preview,size=(*,200)

OnFilterStart:{

  // Allocate Array for storing 3 strings of max. 256 bytes length
  allocArray(0,3,256,0,1);

  // Store the Strings
  putArrayString (0,0, "Hello, Harry!");
  putArrayString (0,1, "Hello, Jimmy.");
  putArrayString (0,2, "Hello, Sally, old girl!");

  // Display
  Info ("%s", getArrayString(0,ctl(0)) );

  freeArray(0);

  return false;
}
