Script Help Please

Question

Good Morning,

I have created two arrays. I am trying to speak the contents of the arrays with the SAY command. For Example:

code SAY("This is" + $ARRAYONE[0] + "good work" + $ARRAYTWO[0]) /code

When I run the script I get the error message: Variable is in array: $ARRAYTWO[0] Which makes me think that I am trying to add. Do I have the syntax correct?

Shouldn't the array brackets be round, not square?

WayneA · Answer

The array brackets are square. DefineArray( variable, size, [default value] )

WayneA · Answer

I also need to add, can you do any math functions with arrays? I get the same error message.

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Try it this way...
 $one=$ARRAYONE[0] $two=$ARRAYTWO[0] SAY("This is" + $one + "good work" + $two)

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

You should be able to do math functions assuming the array values are numeric that is....

WayneA · Answer

That worked. Thank You, Still would like to know why it had to be converted to a "regular" looking string... @DJ That particular way is going to really complicate what I am trying to do....

WayneA · Answer

@Richard, yes the array values are numeric. When I do this:
 $C = $ARRAYONE[1] / $ARRAYTWO[1]

I get the same syntax error as before stated: Variable is in an array: ARRAYTWO

Convert them to a regular string like I did in my above example and then do the math on them...

WayneA · Answer

Ok, converting them to a "regular" string worked. Why?

Dunning-Kruger · Answer

Not sure dude... Maybe DJ can answer that... Although my way worked, maybe we are missing something simple and there is actually a better way to do this...

How do you trigger this thread so that he can see it and need to chime in on it?

Rich · Answer

He will see it, he is like Santa, he sees everything
