NewArray = SRP_Rotate_Array(Array, MajorDelim, MinorDelim) |
Returns
The rotated array.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Array | The dynamic array to be rotated. Required. |
| MajorDelim | The delimiter that separates rows if Array is in LIST format or columns if it is in ARRAY format. Optional. If you omit this parameter, @FM will be assumed. |
| MinorDelim | The delimiter that separates elements in within each column (ARRAY format) or row (LIST format). Optional. If you omit this parameter, @VM will be assumed. |
Remarks
Two dimensional dynamic arrays can be in one of two formats: LIST format or ARRAY format. The names for these formats derive from the LIST and ARRAY properties of the OpenInsight Edit Table. Both formats represent columns and rows but are delimited differently. In the LIST format, the dynamic array is first broken into rows by the major delimiter (@FM), and each element is broken into columns using the minor delimiter (@VM).
...
To use it, simply pass the array you wish to rotate. If your array uses the @FM and @VM delimiters, then there is nothing else you need to do. If, however, your array uses alternative delimiters, just supply them via the MajorDelim and MinorDelim parameters. Notice that you don't need to specify the format. SRP_Rotate_Array determines the format of the given array and simply returns the array in the other format. With a single, fast call you can convert LISTs into ARRAYs and ARRAYs into LISTs.

* To show equivalency, convert an ARRAY to a LIST in an OI EditTable Array = Get_Property(@Window:".EDT_TEST", "ARRAY") List = SRP_Rotate_Array(Array) Set_Property(@Window:".EDT_TEST", "LIST", List) * Rotate a list into an array using custom delimiters List = "Don,Bakke*Paul,Simonsen*Frank,Tomeo*Bob,Fernandes*Kevin,Fournier" Array = SRP_Rotate_Array(List, "*", ",") //Array will be: "Don,Paul,Frank,Bob,Kevin*Bakke,Simonsen,Tomeo,Fernandes,Fournier" |
