hi all, i run into a problem writing a script that i can get around in one of two ways: allowing the user to input an array, or using a string as a number. is it possible to input an array to a script? or to convert the numbers in a string to numbers usable in the script calculations? any thoughts are greatly appreciated. best regards, lolero

Hi Iolero
You can input an array from a text file using file_read (see scripting help: file_).
You can force strings as numbers using to_Double(X) (see scripting help: data types).

Hi Lolero,

If you want to have an array as an input just have the user enter the data as a string and delimit the variables with something like a comma. You can then use the split function in QScript to get the variables into the array.

.. OR to hard wire a list within the script you can probably ...

#~~~~~ define vars
Doctor_Fu_Manchu, Miss_Scarlett, Professor_Moriarty = 0;

#~~~~~ insert list of values into the string
Professor_Moriarty = Join(",",11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99,101);

#~~~~~ set up array
define ARRAY Inspector_Javert[]; Inspector_Javert[0]=0;

#~~~~~ populate array Inspector_Javert
Doctor_Fu_Manchu = split(Inspector_Javert,Professor_Moriarty,",");

#~~~~~ force each value from a string value to a number value
for (ctr = 0 to length(Inspector_Javert) -1 by 1) {#~ctr
Miss_Scarlett = to_double(Inspector_Javert[ctr]);
print Miss_Scarlett; #~~~ or do whatever you want with her

}#~ctr
