Hi Orm,

I've tried tabset and it also works without resizing the array (what OTOH would be no problem because I know the size of the list). I was rather hoping to find a way to do it without using an extra library but that does not seem to be possible...

I'll probably change the code for my external to read in data directly from an array and write it back to the same array again.

anyway, thanks alot,

Olaf

Hi Olaf,

below is another way it could be done. it needs the drip object of zexy. The advantages: you don't have to know the number of elements in the list in advance and you can put it at any location in tables of arbitrary sizes.

hi, you can resize the array to the number of values and use "tabset" from zexy. sÜme.

Hi all,

I've got a question concerning how to get a list into an array.

I use an object which outputs a list of values (floats) and on a second outlet the number of values. Now I'd like to write the values into an array.

Using tabread seems not to work. A message like [;array99 0 $1] would set only one value but I want to set a variable number of values.... (thus I would need a variable number of $1 ... $n).

Any ideas?

Olaf
