Accessing Array Elements within Object Items

If you need to get or set individual elements of an array within an object, you can do so by using the OT GetArray or OT PutArraymethod, where represents the array’s type. For example, to get or set the seventh element of an array with the tag "strings", you would use:

In conjunction with the OT SizeOfArray method, this allows you to iterate over and retrieve the contents of an array within an object.

ARRAY STRING(255;$str255s;1) ARRAY STRING(8;$str8s;1) ARRAY TEXT($texts;1)

$str255s{1} := "this was originally a string" $texts{1} := "this was originally text"

OT PutArray ($object;"char array";$str255s) OT GetArray ($object;"char array";$str8) `$str8{1} contains "this was". Notice it was clipped to its width.

OT PutArray ($object;"char array";$texts) OT GetArray ($object;"char array";$str255s) `$str255s{1} contains "this was originally text"

C_STRING(255;$str255) $str255:=OT GetArrayString ($object;"char array";1) `$str255 contains "this was originally text"

$str:=OT GetArrayString ($object;"strings";7) OT SetArrayString ($object;"strings";7;"This is a test")
