get a a certain value in the array

[LoOni3r 6]

hi Guys,

 

can arma do something similar?

 

Example PHP

$array = array(
    "foo" => "bar",
    "bar" => "foo",
);

 

MyTest

_array = [["AAA",111],["BBB",222],["CCC",333]]; 
getArray (_array >> "AAA")

I want to get a specific value in the array without using select 0 of foreach

I have no experience in PHP and a cracking hangover, so this may not be the best method... But it works POORLY [Edit].
 

Spoiler

// I want to find the number value of "BBB"!
_array = [["AAA",111],["BBB",222],["CCC",333]]; 
_return = _array select { _x#0 isEqualTo "BBB" };   // Return is [["BBB",222]].

_return #0#1;   // Return is 222.

 

Hopefully that's some use to you.

Ignore this, please!

_return #0#1; // Return is 222.

oof.

 

Yours iterates through all elements of the array even if the wanted value was already found.

_index = _array findIf { _x#0 isEqualTo "BBB"};

_array select _index

Damnit!

Using findIf was my first thought but my brain is... Working not good.

Nice one!

Thank you for your answers.

 

the smallest function i have ever written xD

 

findIf I didn't know.

 

FNC_PUBLIC_ARRRETURNVAR = {
	params ["_arr","_var"];
	_return = (_arr select (_arr findIf { _x#0 isEqualTo _var})) select 1;
	_return
};

 

_array = [["AAA",111],["BBB",222],["CCC",333]]; 

_var = [_array,"BBB"]call FNC_PUBLIC_ARRRETURNVAR;

 

I am currently rewriting my entire mission and would like to optimize as much as possible.

What you are doing looks alot like CBA hash.
but cba does the layout like so:
[[AAA, BBB, CCC], [111,222,333]]
then you do
(_array select 1) select ((_array select 0) find "AAA")

which is way more efficient as find does the searching completely in engine without having to run slow scripts.
