Re: [GLE-general] [GLE-devel] arrays of lists? (fwd)

[Radek M. <rad...@gm...>]

GLE does not support any array-like data type, however there is couple of 
workarounds I regularly use. You simply collect your data into some other 
container, like string or file.

Simple example with integers:

```
sub get_value array$  index
   return val(seg$(array$, index, index))
end sub

nums$ = "1234567890"

for i = 1 to len(nums$)
   val = 10*get_value(nums$, i)
   print val
next i
```

This example can be easily expanded to support multidimensional float data.
The practicability and performance is obviously a different question.

Regarding string as a container, there is I believe a limit to maximal length 
(which is relatively small if I am not mistaken), in that case, you can use 
file as a container, which seems more practical for what you try to do anyway.
