Create name of RecArray dynamically

sapna Shah

Hi,

Using CS10

Is there a way to create recArray name dynamically in a loop.. meaning depends on some value in a loop, I want to create recArrays accordingly. The highlihted one is giving error which I suspected.. But Q is how can I generate name of RecArray dynamically?

e.g

Integer x = 10

for tr = 1 to x

     RecArray        tabs[tr] = RecArray.Create( fields )

    end

What is the problem you are trying to solve?

RecArrays don't have names. You seem to be wanting to dynamically name variables, but since the compiler just converts them to indices into the local variable store, whatever name you give the variable won't matter.

I am trying to create RecArrays specific to items in a loop.. So if my loop has 10 items, I want to creat 10 RecArrays and then use it in my code..

Why not to create a Assoc and RecArrays into created Assoc.

List fields = {'a', 'b'}
Integer maxCount = 10

Integer counter
Assoc a = Assoc.CreateAssoc()
for counter = 1 to maxCount
a.(counter) = RecArray.Create( fields )
end

Later can access Recarray like a.(1)

First, saying Assoc a = Assoc.CreateAssoc() is wasteful - if you declare an assoc variable, it's automatically populated with an assoc. The additional call just adds the overhead of a built-in call, the allocation of a new assoc, an assignment, and the deletion of the old assoc.

Second, if you're going to be accessing them with integer keys, why note just go with a list?

List fields = {'a', 'b'} Integer maxCount = 10 Integer counter List l for counter = 1 to maxCount l = {@l, RecArray.Create( fields ) } end echo( l[1].a )

Thanks for pointing no need of initiation of Assoc.
Integer was just for sample. instead of integer can be used meaningful strings as well.
Str.Format( 'myArray%1', counter)
But this is already beauty of code and readability.

Many Thanks Mark and Keit for your suggestions.. It works. Thanks again for the pointers.
