Arrays

[dopeness]

Hi, could you write up a simple example of how to use Arrays in Scar. I'd need an example for Strings, Integers and anything else. Thanks.

Small example:

 

var
 fruits: TStrArray;

begin
 ClearDebug;
 fruits := ['Apple', 'Orange', 'Banana', 'Pear']; // Indexes 0, 1, 2, 3.
 WriteLn('Random fruit: ' + fruits[Random(4)]); // Random returns 0-3 with value 4.
 SetLength(fruits, 0); 
end.

 

You can also do this:

 

var
 fruits: TStrArray;

begin
 ClearDebug;    
 SetLength(fruits, 4);
 fruits[0] := 'Apple';
 fruits[1] := 'Orange';
 fruits[2] := 'Banana';
 fruits[3] := 'Pear';
 WriteLn('Random fruit: ' + fruits[Random(4)]); // Random returns 0-3 with value 4.
 SetLength(fruits, 0); 
end.

 

Also, here is couple great video tutorials for arrays (dynamic and static arrays):

 

Done with old SCAR, but using arrays works still the same way in SCAR Divi 3.35+.

Thanks. Also (not related to Arrays) is there a function similar to findBitmapTolerance in the new Scar Version?

[Janilabo]

Yes, there is FindBitmapTol().

 

In SCAR's script editor write "find" and then press CTRL + SPACE so you will see list with almost all of the finding functions.

 

I recommend taking a look at changelog aswell: http://svn.scar-divi.com/scar/changelog.txt

 

(You can see there what has been renamed in the past)

Oh god, thanks so much.

No problem mate, anytime!

Another quick question. The cooridinate values are still the same, correct?

 

so:

 

1,1,5,5. Essentially we're creating a box to search in?

[Janilabo]

Yep, they are still the same.
