Webserver SetOutValueArray

Hi,
I was wondering on the possibility of having arrays for the SetOut values. I have seen somewhere on the forum that it is possible to concatenate the strings to do something like this but that does seem messy and you need a lot of code at both ends to process it.
It looks like JavaScript has arrays so I think it should be possible, I wonder if it would then be possible to mix data types?
Regards,
Bob

Hi Bob,
I like the idea, I wonder if we could add a new component to allow array to string and string to array. Maybe something like the explode and implode functions in PHP. I'll have a play and see if I can come up with something useful.

Right I've made something which may or may not be useful for this.
https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wiki/index.p ... _(Utility)
I've pushed it to the v9 and v10 component library update systems.
Let me know if you think of any other functions you would like added.

Hi Ben
It' looks good. Just it's missing for the App Developer.
And the Auto Version Id would also be something for the app developer?
and something else I miss is command which can convert a byte, integer, float into a string with leading zeros or space.
This might also go into the Advanced String Function?
regards
Stefan

Hello,
The component should be there for AD now. We are investigating adding the auto version component, it's a bit trickier but we have a plan on how to do it.
The formatted strings is a good idea. I'll have a think on how to add it.
edit - now added the formatted strings

Hi Ben,
I have been looking and it is way above my head, it might be what I am looking for but I have no idea. I have made a bit of a mock up to hopefully show how I envisage it. It may not be possible though at the web side.
I have mocked up what I think the Flowcode side would be and how I think it would be in the web side but unsure if it is possible.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h2>JavaScript Arrays</h2>
<p id="Integer"></p>
<p id="Float"></p>
<script>
//Not sure if I need the const here
const TestArrayInt = [%0]; // Should populate it with this [40, 100, 1, 5, 0, 0]
document.getElementById("Integer").innerHTML = TestArrayInt[0];
//Not sure if I need the const here
const TestArrayFloat = [%1]; // Should poulate it with [10.40, 100.23, 1.5, 5.7, 0.0, 0.0]
document.getElementById("Float").innerHTML = TestArrayFloat[0];
</script>
</body>

Hi Bob,
This should do what you're after. Make sure you do a full database library update to get the Advanced string component.

Hi Ben,
A big thanks for that, I can understand what i going on where i did not have a clue with the other example.
I will have to wait until the weekend to try it on my laptop which has the external web browser example. For some reason I am still having an issue with simulating that on Win 7 an the https problem. Probably need to change the IP address.

Hi Ben,
This is probably for another post but as I did mention it in post one I thought I would mention it to see what your thought is. I have not been able to try this with external web pages yet but it does look ideal for what I asked for.
I think what you have created is ideal for what I asked for/needed, the icing on the cake would be it if would be possible to mix variables IE int/float/strings.
I think this would actually require a new variable / array to allow mixed data types. If you think this is possible and more important if others would think it is needed let me know and I will start a seperate request for it. With what you have done I can get around it but think this will make it even better.

Hi Bob,
I think what you're asking for there is a struct, we have discussed adding structs a few times but currenty they are not natively supported by Flowcode. They are however supported by the underlying C compilers. I'll have a think on if we can do something here.
