How the CreateArray function works
Quote from roccocogliano on March 28, 2024, 12:23 pmHi @luishp,
if I create an array using this codesetvar [a] "x" setvar [b] "y" setvar [c] "z" CreateArray [myArray] "[a],[b],[c]" jsalert [myArray]what I get is an array where the elements are "[a]", "[b]" and "[c]" and not as I expected "x","y" and "z".
Is this an intended behavior or an error in the CreateArray function?One way to get the desired result is to create a type string
setvar [string] "[a],[b],[c]" and use
strParse "[string]" "," [myArray] or create an empty array and use arrayadditem with all elements.Greetings

It is an easy way to create an Array with values on design time. It's not designed to to store values generated at run time.
As you say, there are other options:SetVar [a] "x" SetVar [b] "y" SetVar [c] "z" CreateEmptyArray [myArray] ArrayAddItem [myArray] [a] ArrayAddItem [myArray] [b] ArrayAddItem [myArray] [c]Regards.
