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.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks much!
