Description

Description:: Converts the supplied String into an Array of Numbers. The numbers in the created array are the decimal Unicode representations of characters.
Since v2.04 this command can also handle HashMaps. See alternative syntax.
Groups:: Arrays HashMap Strings

Syntax 1

Syntax:: toArray string
Parameters:: string: String
Return Value:: Array

2.04

Syntax 2

Syntax:: toArray hashMap
Parameters:: hashMap: HashMap
Return Value:: Array - array in format [[key, key, ...], [value, value, ...]]

2.04

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]]
