Array Editor Load from file

[grego mondo]

Hello

I use an Array Editor to make a scheduler for an installation.
10 lines & 13 columns

Works fine
I save my Array Editor to a file
when I load a file I get an Error message :
PROC:Loadfromfile
ERROR:List index out of bound (13)

Hi,
that is probably because you ask to scan the array before knowing its size.
but :
Another way to do what you want would be to use global array string.

on each of the 10 lines of the array you'll have the 13 values converted in strings like so : 10;26;54;12;80;0;56;29;13;22;35;44;29

makes for more robust way to save datas as it is easy then to edit the datas from an external text editor

Thanks Oli

I couldn't remember that global array string trick.

It look like a bug because I tried creating an Array Editor with prefered values : save ok, loading give the same error message.

Yeah you're right, there's something wrong. I have the same error and the only the 1st line loads.

it is working fine with HH7 although it is exactly the same module in both versions.

do you need any help with the global array trick ? there is 2 submodules in the various tools addons : array to string and string to array

I did this

with a simple global array

cool !
- my global string trick allows for readable file and better compatibility if you'll need to add columns later on.
- the pass module after the "global array get array" is not necessary as you can add paas if change inside that module.
- you could use panel text module for display or at least set the combobox to non-editable
- in french it is called "un programmateur horaire"

- the pass module after the "global array get array" is not necessary as you can add paas if change inside that module. the idea was to get global array just when I load it
- you could use panel text module for display or at least set the combobox to non-editable ?
- in french it is called "un programmateur horaire" I agree but Groupe Laps what to call it Scheduleur ...

- thanx,
- "the idea was to get global array just when I load it" : that is what will happen if you tick th "add pass only if change"
- You have combobox that you use for display only, you could have them set to "edit enable" = 0 OR combine different strings (day, date and month) into a single string then feed a panel text in overlay mode.
- frenglish !

Am I right if I say that when I change value in my Editor > it change the global Array > so the value pass out of "get global array" ?

It took me time to find (Iwas looking in the first page of settings, not in the "view" one) good tips (I believed I knew it and forgot it ...)

Guesso, but since it is the same values on each side, won't do any harm
