getting separate strings from an array

[BullyBoii 10]

hi all,

the title says it all really, how would i go about doing this

what i wanted to do was have an array that can hold an infinite number of

strings and then be able to separate out the strings individually.

e.g. a list of waypoint markers in an array

["wp1", "wp2", "wp3", .....];

i then want to be able to extract these waypoint names for use as a position

and create a waypoint for a unit to follow.

if anyone has an idea of how to do this i would very much appreciate them

advising me on how to go about doing this

if i have seemed unclear, please tell me and i will try to rephrase it.

edit: here is my code so far

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Function file for Arma 3
// Created by: =SOF= Sgt.Bull.A - "Bully"
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

//spawn_group_red.sqf

_markerName = _this select 0; //type string
_side = _this select 1; //type string either "red" or "blue"
_groupName = _this select 2; //type array or string
_wps = _this select 3; //type array of strings -  needs to be with list of marker positions

//sets defualt group type based on side
//opfor deualt group
if (_side = "red") then 
{	
if (isNil _groupName) then {_groupName = (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "OPF_F" >> "Infantry" >> "OIA_InfTeam");}; //selects default group
};
//blufor default group
if (_side = "blue") then 
{
if (isNil _groupName) then {_groupName = (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "West" >> "BLU_F" >> "Infantry" >> "BUS_InfTeam");}; //selects default group
};

//spawns the group
_spawnpos = getmarkerpos _markername;//gets marker name
_group = [_spawnpos, EAST, _groupName] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;//spawn group

//adds the waypoints
//put waypoint params here for each string from _wps array

exit;//ends script

exit is sqs command does nothing in sqf file you don't need it. to iterate through your wp names use foreach

{

//_x will contain wps name

} forEach _wps;
