Loop through Multi-Dimensional Array

[Michael Kann]

Andrew,

Bernd  has a much better script for you to peruse, but here might be an equivalent algorithm for what you want to do:


on mouseUp

put "Brazil"    into wrong_team
put "Argentina" into correct_team

put "Messi"     into t[1]["name"]
put "Brazil"    into t[1]["team"]// replace this
put "Klose"     into t[2]["name"]
put "Germany"   into t[2]["team"]

put t into t_temp 
// loop thru temp array
// make changes in real array

repeat with x=1 to 2

  repeat for each element i in t_temp[x]

    if i is wrong_team then
      put correct_team into t[x]["team"]
   end if


  end repeat
end repeat

// to check that the change has been made
put t[1]["name"] & space after h
put t[1]["team"] & cr after h
put t[2]["name"] & space after h
put t[2]["team"] & cr after h
put h into fld 1

end mouseUp

-------------------------
The only problem I see is using "team" in the line:

put correct_team into t[x]["team"]

There is probably a way fill that item in without resorting to using the specific array index.

Hope this gives you at least a different way of going about it.

Mike
