  • Thank you, Bruno and dop, REALLY a big Thanx!

  • Hi,

    Would someone be willing to provide a simple capx that searches a 3D array for a value and returns the location of the value. I would be REALLY appreciative. Thank you.

  • Is this plug-in still operational?

  • AllanR and MekonBekon,

    Thank you for the feedback and capx. I haven't tried them yet, as I kind of did a functional, but not the most lean, workaround. But, when I get the demo done, I'll be able to go back and tighten it up.

    I really appreciate the time and effort you all took to help me out. Have a good weekend!

  • Oosyrag, thanks for the validation of my psuedo-self-discovered mini-solution - I did something similar utilizing a global variable, but I can see how that would work on a larger level. Would you happen to know any examples, capx or the like that I can borrow from and modify for our project?

  • Thanks Jobel!

  • Josek what was your solution?

  • Ahhh...Jobel, you responded to quick. LOL. I just added edited my original question with an example - could you review and respond? Thanks much!

  • What I want to do is have a value, let’s say “Name” and attached to that value is another set of values, say “Score” and “Address”. Now I want to arrange the “Names” by the value “Score”, but I want the other values (“Name”, “Address”, etc.) to stick with that “Score” value such that I may be able to access “Address” in the order that the “Scores” are ranked.

    How would I do that?

    I’ve reviewed plenty about arrays, sorting, multiple dimension arrays, etc., and I think the solution is right there in front of me, but my brain begins to haze up - am I am overthinking it.

    For example: If there is a two dimensional array where the Y dimension is “Names” and the X dimension is “Scores”, and I sort by the X dimension (“Scores”) will the Y dimension (“Names”) move with the X dimension (“Names”)? In other words, if I have a particular Score at position (3,1) and its corresponding Name is at position (3,2), and if I sort and the Score goes to position (4, 1) will the Name attached to that “Score” automatically go to position (4,2)?

    Thanks!

  • Super Thanks, BlackHornet!

    Follow-up Question: Why don't any of the "available" tutorials (video or otherwise) have that language in their solutions, but they apparently still work?

    Again mucho thanks!

  • My bad...thanks Blackhornet. Here's the link to the single file:

  • I've spent 2 days on this darn blasted problem. All I want to do is load values into an array and then do a search in the array for a value and if it is in the array to then populate a text box. I've looked at all the tutorials/videos and it just ain't working.

    Here's a link to the capx file: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8diIdBYzw0cc3lZRFF1R21nOFk

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks much!
