$marray(name, N, [N..])

Gets the Nth item in a table, subsequent N parameters gets the Nth item from a sub table, infinite sub depth.

Parameters

name - The outer table name.
N - The Nth item in the table.
[N..] - The Nth item in a sub table, subsequent N parameters travels further down.

Properties

.item - Gets the item name.
.value - Gets the item value.
.type - Get the item type. (0 = text, 1 = number, 2 = bool, 3 = sub table)
.json - Generate a json table from all items in the current table and all sub tables.
.ini - Generate a ini output from all items in the current table and all sub tables.
.xml - Generate a xml output from all items in the current table and all sub tables.

Example

; Add item1/value1 to the table 'table1'.
//marray -a table1 item1 value1

; Add sub table 'item2' to the table 'table1'.
//marray -aA table1 item2 value2

; Insert item3/value3 at position '1' in the table 'table1'.
//marray -i table1 1 item3 value3

; Print number of items in table 'table1'.
//echo -ag Number of items in table1 is $marray(table1, 0)

; Print the first items in table 'table1'.
//echo -ag First item in table1 is $marray(table1, 1).item

; Delete the first item in table 'table1'.
//marray -d table1 1

; Free the table 'table1'.
//marray -f table1

; Add a new sub table to table 'table1',
//marray -aA table1 sub1 sub1

; Add a new item to the sub table located at position '1' in table 'table1'.
//marray -a table1 1 item1 value1

; Print the first item in the table 'table1', which is a sub table.
//echo -ag First item in table1 is $marray(table1, 1).item - $marray(table1, 1).type

; Print the first item in the sub table located at position '1' in table 'table1'.
//echo -ag First item in sub table1 is $marray(table1, 1, 1).item

; Generates a json output of table 'table1'.
// echo -ag $marray(table1).json

; Generates a ini output of table 'table1'.
// echo -ag $marray(table1).ini

; Generates a xml output of sub table at position '1' in table 'table1'.
// echo -ag $marray(table1, 1).xml
