Syntax 3

Syntax:

hashMap toArray splitArrays

Parameters:

hashMap: HashMap

splitArrays: Boolean - See return value

Return Value:

Array - Array in either one of the following formats:

• splitArrays: true - [[key1, key2, ...], [value1, value2, ...]]
• splitArrays: false - [[key1, value1], [key2, value2], ...] This is very inefficient since the engine has to create many small arrays

Examples

Example 1:

hint format ["%1", toArray "AaŒ"];// Returns "[65,97,338]"

Example 2:

toArray _hashMap params ["_keys", "_values"];

Example 3:

private _hashmap = ["cow", "cat", "chicken"] createHashMapFromArray [10000, 20000, 20000]; _hashmap toArray true; // returns [["cow", "cat", "chicken"], [10000, 20000, 20000]] - same as Syntax 2 _hashmap toArray false; // returns [["cow", 10000], ["cat", 20000], ["chicken", 20000]]
