How to I get the text stored in an array? I want to print it to screen. I can get the index no problem but I have no idea how to retrieve the text stored at that index.

One example from the docs is this. However it returns the index and not the actual text stored. It prints 3 to screen not the name stored there.

Any help please?

Thank you

names as string [ 5 ] = [ "", "lee", "rick", "paul", "dave", "adam" ]
names.sort ( )
do
for i = 1 to names.length
print ( names [ i ] )
next i
print ( "" )
index = names.find ( "lee" )


print ( "lee is at index = " + str ( index ) )


sync ( )
loop

I'm not sure if my post succeeded as this looks blank. I figured it out myself though. Thank you.

No problem.

If any other new folks are wondering how. I got the text by changing this line
print ( "lee is at index = " + str ( index ) )

to this

print ( "Yup. I found " + (names[index]) + " at index " + str ( index ) )

cheers

Hi Mike, nice to see you.

Just some heads up, Array.Length actually returns the last index of an array. And arrays start indexing from 0.

Cheers
Michael
