Hi all...

I know you can access normal array elements using the myarray[1] type of syntax, but is it possible to access the elements of a dynamic array using the same type of syntax?

I.e instead of dynArr["name"] use dynArr[2] ?

Thanks foir the help! Thought I'd accessed them this way before but now it doesn't seem to work!

Cheers!

keys in dynamic arrays are always strings instead of integers but you can get around it with a little juggling:

Say you have a dynamic array "lottastuff" with 12 elements,

you need to add a fixed string array variable say "lskeys"

Now you load the elements from lottastuff into lskeys with

lottastuff.getkeys(lskeys).

At this point lskeys[1] = the first element in lottastuff
lskeys[2] = the second element in lottastuff etc.

Now to address an element in lottastuff directly using integers you simply use

lottastuff[lskeys[3]] which would be the value of the third element in lottastuff[].

Thanks very much, didn't think of it that way...

I got round what I was doing, albeit in a crappy way.. But it wasn't a very nice project I was working on and was glad to finish it heh

Thanks again!

The order in which keys appear in a DynArray (e.g. with forEach) may change at any time. There is no concept of "ordering" of a dynamic array.

Likewise, in an ordinary Array, there is no concept of keys.

Actually the "order" of the keys don't change. There is no concept of "order." But a virtual order can be established using a standard array as a proxy.

The solution to the problem is not found in answering the question asked, but in understanding it.
