creating array

[Gautami]

Hello,
I don't see where I am going wrong.
Can someone help me point out what I am doing wrong. I know its probably a very stupid mistake.
Been at this for hours now

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   local tFolder, tFileList
   answer folder "Select the Folder" 
   put it into tFolder
   set the defaultFolder to tFolder
   put filteredFolders() into mainfolder
 
    ----- having problem from here on
   put 1 into tcounter
   repeat for each line tItem in mainfolder
      put tItem into folderArray[tcounter]["fldname"]
      put tFolder & "/" & tItem into folderArray[tcounter]["fldpath"]
      put filteredFilesWithPaths() into folderArray[tcounter]["filepath"]
      put filteredFiles() into folderArray[tcounter]["filenopath"]
      add 1 to tcounter
   end repeat
   set the dgText of group "DG" to folderArray --- returns no keys
   set the dgData of group "DG" to folderArray --- returns every line as a key
   
--- but datagrid remains empty.   
end mouseUp

Thanks for the help!

Your array construction is valid, though I know nothing of the data you get from your custom functions. Do you get any errors with these?

Or you use dgData (array solution) or you use dgText (tabbed grid text solution), you can't use both.
Remember that the array organization is the following: dgData[row][column_name], where row is an integer and column_name is a string.
Column in array and column name (not label) in datagrid must be the same.

Nope, I don't. All of them give me valid output.
This code works when there is only 1 item inside the repeat loop.
When I have more than one, I get no output.

Hi Max,
Sorry, I did not comment out one of the dgtext/dgdata in the above code.
But i used only 1 at a time. I tried the other to see if that worked by chance; it did not.
When I print the keys out for each method,
i get the results are stated above.

Just to be sure, your datagrid DOES have columns named:
fldname
fldpath
filepath
filenopath
?
