How do I point to an array xy value using "indexOf" expression?

Hi,

I'm trying to obtain an x value for an expression which goes as follows:

Sample array:

dogs 1 2 3

rabbits 2 2 3

Expression:

On listbox entry 'rabbits total' selection:

>set text to: the array index of "rabbits" at x=2

an expression for this would help a lot as i'll be adding and removing rows as the game progresses and rows will be moving up and down, so using an expression which searches for the "rabbits" entry instead of pointing to a specific xy position would be amazing.

Thanks for any help.

Hi again,

This doesn't work.

I'm trying to obtain the value at:

x = 2

y = 1

Using indexof expression for the 'y' variable only. I've tried different combinations, and this expression only seems to work for a single x variable, anything more complicated and it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks dop2000 I'll try this :)
