Functions for accessing/manipulating nested variables?
|
Does anyone have any simple functions to manipulate data in nested record variables?
Also, is there a way to nest records in a record variable?
I'd love to do something like this: (pardon the nested dict example in Python. It's what I'm most comfortable with.)
| Code: |
>>> d = {}
>>> d['dict1'] = {}
>>> d['dict1']['innerkey'] = 'value'
>>> d
{'dict1': {'innerkey': 'value'}} |
Basically wanting to create a db of sorts, without using db - trying to make this package as portable as possible. |

Sure you can, and like most things in zScript you can do it many ways.
| Code: |
$temp="key=valueA|key2=valueB|key3=valueC"
#ADDKEY $temp {key4} {valueD}
#ADDKEY SomeVar {key} {$temp}
#SHOW {key is %db(%db(@SomeVar, "key"), "key") key2 is %db(@SomeVar.key, "key2") key3 is @SomeVar.key.key3}
#ADDKEY SomeVar.key {key} {valueE}
SomeVar.key.key3="valueF"
#LOOPDB @SomeVar.key {
#SHOW {key: %key is %val}
}
#UNVAR SomeVar |
