Does what I want to do require array knowledge?

[RAMMRODD]

What I'm wanting to do is have a window pop up and have a spanish word, have an input box and have the user (me) input the english version of that word. I can do this one at a time with help from the "help file" (who would have guessed) but if I have like 50 vocab words I really dont want to input all the code for that. So if I inputted the spanish and english words in 2 different documents (or 2 columns would be great in excel or works) is array what I would need to pull spanish word #1 and match it with english word #1?

thanks mucho (lol)

you could put them in 2 sections of an .ini file and then use a for loop something like this.

dim $english[50]

dim $spanish[50]

for ($i = 0 to 49 step 1)

$spanish[$i] = iniread("englishspan.ini", "1", $i)

$english[$i] = iniread("englishspan.ini", "2", $i)

next

Ini files are set up:

CODE

[section]

Key=Value

But you could also do a StringSplit():

$String = StringSplit("Mucho|Gracias|De Nada", "|")

It's return is the different phrases as a part of the array. So then your variables are already declared and you don't need an .ini. It's just word one would be $String[1]($String[0] is the number of phrases).

would the ini be easier for rapid updates? Instead of having to edit the code every time I get new words I could just make a new .ini file and have the script read from it?? is that right?
