Array Index Reference Error

Skip to comments   Jump to end

This script has run without errors.


ControlCommand("Answer array", ScriptStart)
#Get 1 0f 16 random phrases from the array Answers
$z = (GetRandomUnique(0,15))  
$phrase = ($Answers[$z])
ControlCommand("Script Manager"' ScriptStart, Speak (phrase")

But, now with ARC - Version 2016.02.18.02 I get:
Error on line 4: Input string was not in a correct format.

The last release that this script ran correctly was the one downloaded on 02/02/201.

Yes - the second way is correct. Absolutely not the first way... There is an examples folder in ARC and quite a few of the examples are regarding how to use Arrays. ARC array is similar format as all programming languages, as such, and each have their own constructor...


DefineArray($Answers, 4) # your missed the $ dollar sign
$Answers[0] = "This is some data"
$Answers[1] = "Notice how there are no brackets"
$Answers[2] = "None of the examples in any languages of strings use brackets"
$Answers[3] = "Not sure where you got the bracket ideas from"

$phrase = $Answers[3]

# of

$cnt = 2

$phrase = $Answers[$cnt]

Brackets are only used for the reasons stated above, to override math operations or for function parameters. Such as...


$x = (2 / 3) + (4 * 2)

Servo(d0, 20)

You do not use brackets for absolutely any other reason - specifically never used while declaring a string...
