I would like to see multidimensional arrays. This is possible in Javascript 3.0 but does not seem to be implemented in Opus.

Also the Javascript Switch(n) command to do the same job as select case

Like you, I find the lack of a switch statement inconvenient at times.
Multidimensional arrays can be achieved using something like this:

//>>>> script >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

myArray = new Array(2);
myArray[0] = new Array(2);
myArray[1] = new Array(2);

myArray["OO"] = new Array();

myArray[0][0] = "anna";
myArray[0][1] = "paul";
myArray[1][0] = "dave";
myArray[1][1] = "michael";

myArray["OO"]["PP"] = "anyone";

Debug.trace( myArray[0][0] + "\n" );
Debug.trace( myArray[0][1] + "\n" );
Debug.trace( myArray[1][0] + "\n" );
Debug.trace( myArray[1][1] + "\n");
Debug.trace( myArray["OO"]["PP"] + "\n");

//>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Thanks for the reply Paul.

I was trying something similar to define 3x3 array:

//
my_Array= new Array (3);
for (loop = 0; loop < 3; ++ loop)
myArray[loop] = new Array (3);

my_Array[0][0] = "Column 1, Row 1";
my_Array[0][1] = "Column 1, Row 2";

//etc..........

Which produces an error- but your solution is perfect!

Yes, the lack of a Switch command means that you often have a huge list of nested ifs - not the easiest to debug.

Cheers.

I too would also like these two basic functions
