@Richard R

I copied and pasted those lines from the script help file. Seems like there might be something to update by the EZ- Robot team unless I missed an update that fixes that entry.

I am using a v4.

Thanks

Since the script by rich closely matches what i am trying to do i am going work through Rich's script and adjust it based on my needs.

I still have this nagging voice in the back of my head that wants to know how to iterate through an array but I will play around with it a bit and mostly ignore the voice for now

Thanks all

If you do wind up needing functionality not in ARC, there are a few options. The SDK can be used either standalone to completely replace ARC, but then you need to write everything in dotnet (either vb or c#, but more examples in c#) or to pass variables in and out of ARC, meaning virtually anything you can write in dotnet can be done with ARC.

If you don't know dotnet, there are a couple of good coders who participate here who often offer to help (in fact, that is what Justin was talking about a few posts up).

There are some other ways to pass data in and out without knowing dotnet (telnet, web, file i/o, rss) that can be used to integrate into external apps.

Finally, if you articulate a need that can't be done another way, DJ usually adds iit within a few releases. In fact, some capabilities that started as SDK projects have been built in as features because the need was obvious (like face recognition).

I have been slowly familiarizing myself and I am aware of quite a few of the options. I do appreciate you pointing them out though.

I am somewhat familiar with c# and have used the sdk. It's EZ-Script I am trying to get a handle on since I am used to c#.

In this project I was trying to stay away from having two apps having to talk to each other so wanted to use EZ-Script by itself.

Some specific items regarding the arrays that struck me was this.

1. The script help refers to a fillarray command but when I try to type it into a script control it's not an option.

2. I was somewhat surprised not to see a do loop in ez-script.

Thanks

Hmmm.. I don't have a clue how to use it, but when I start typing "fill" into a script it pops up with FillArray( variable, default value).

I believe Repeat, RepeatUntil, and RepeatWhile commands work like do loop (but I am not a script expert, so take with a hefty grain of salt).

Odd perhaps I will try to reinstall my copy of ARC.

I am looking at the other loops to accomplish the same thing.

Thanks

I played around a bit and iterating through the array seems to work this way as long as you know the array size.

# Define the array size and contents
$arraySize = 11
DefineArray($X, $arraySize)
$X[0] = 0
$X[1] = 2
$X[2] = 4
$X[3] = 6
$X[4] = 8
$X[5] = 10
$X[6] = 9
$X[7] = 7
$X[8] = 5
$X[9] = 3
$X[10] = 1


#Iterate over the array and return the values

$index = 0
RepeatUntil ($index = $arraySize)
   $arrayContents = $X[$index]
   print("The contents of $X[" + $index +"] is " + $arrayContents )
   $index++
   sleep(1000)
EndRepeatUntil

I am still trying to get a handle on getting the number of elements in the array (array size)
