ABC of arrays

[Phil Davis]

If you want to see a visual representation of the array, the following 
code will give that to you:

-- your stack has a field and a button

-- button code:

global gSomeBigArray

on mouseUp
     put dataTree(gSomeBigArray) into field 1
end mouseUp


function dataTree pData, pSpacer
     put pSpacer & tab into tNextSpacer
     put the keys of pData into tKeyList
     if line 1 of tKeyList is a number
     then sort lines of tKeyList numeric
     else sort lines of tKeyList
     repeat for each line tKey in tKeyList
         if pData[tKey] is an array
         then put pSpacer & tKey & ":" & CR & 
dataTree(pData[tKey],tNextSpacer) after tDataTree
         else put pSpacer & tKey & " = " & singleLine(pData[tKey]) & cr 
after tDataTree
     end repeat

     return tDataTree
end dataTree


function singleLine pData
    replace CR with "[[CR]]" in pData
    return pData
end singleLine
