I know that if I have an array Array := {a:"Apple", b:"Banana"}, I have to put the key in double quotes, as in var := Array["a"], but I can't figure out the syntax to use if the key is stored in a variable, as in

Code: Select all

nextkey := "a"
nextvalue := Array[nextkey]

I have tried enclosing nextkey in %s and preceding it with "". It must be something simple but I can't think what.

Grateful for any help.

Hallo,
try:

Code: Select all

Array := {a:"Apple", b:"Banana"}
nextkey := "a"
nextvalue := Array[nextkey]
MsgBox,% nextvalue ; Apple

Many thanks. That was actually the first thing I tried and it didn't seem to have worked, but it turns out the problem was elsewhere.
