Array that is not an array (solved)

[MaxV]

Hello,
I have a mystery to solve with your help.
I have a list like this:

Code: Select all

Image ,ImageDescription,SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES,ASCII,158
Image ,Make,SAMSUNG,ASCII,190
EXIF ,Model,NX3000,ASCII,198
Thumbnail ,Orientation,1,Short,54
Image ,XResolution,72/1,Ratio,230
Image ,YResolution,72/1,Ratio,238
Image ,ResolutionUnit,Pixels/Inch,Short,90
Image ,Software,FW Ver 01.02,ASCII,246
Image ,DateTime,2015:10:24 16:28:49,ASCII,262
Image ,YCbCrPositioning,2,Short,126

I create an array with this code:
########CODE#######
function exifProcessFileArray pData
repeat for each line tLine in pdata
put item 1 of tLine into tnome1
put item 2 of tLine into tnome2
put item 3 to -1 of tLine into tArray [tnome1] [tnome2]
end repeat
return tArray
end exifProcessFileArray
#####END OF CODE#####

Well, the array tArrya is not an array! I get the first set of keys: tArray["EXIF"], tArray["Thumbnail"] and tArray["Image"], but any other data is unreachable!!!
the code:

Code: Select all

put tArray["EXIF"] is an array 

returns false!!!
But the IDE debugger says that is an array!
Look this picture:

What is it? How can I reach the tArray["EXIF"]["ColorSpace"] ?

Buongiorno Max,

this does the trick:
...
put tArray["EXIF "]["Model"]
## -> NX3000,ASCII,198
...
Please note the SPACE before the first comma in your list!
Either remove them when creating the array or take them into account later!


Best

The source data appears to have an extra space between the end of the key name and the comma. If that's correct, the key would be tArray["EXIF "] rather than tArray["EXIF"].

Damn! I didn't notice it!!!
Thank you so much!!!

Weird data happens to all of us. Like Linus Torvalds says, "Given enough eyeballs all bugs are shallow."
