insert variable as a key in dictionary Topic is solved

[Ernestas]

Hello guys,

I was wondering why does it give string as a key in the dictionary. How to insert variable to the dictionary as a key. Would really appreciate your help guys!!

Code: Select all

#z::

mainData := {}

tempAcc := 8696796666666
tempBookingDate := "booking date 1"
tempAmount := "amount 100"

if !mainData.haskey(tempAcc)
{
	row := 1
	mainData.insert(tempAcc, {row : [tempBookingDate, tempAmount]})
}

for account, accountRowData in mainData 
{
	msgbox, % account
	
	for row, rowData in accountRowData 
	{
		MsgBox, % "row: " row
		
		for index, rowListData in rowData 
		{
			msgbox, % "data in Row: " rowListData
		}
	}
}
	
return

...to use a variable as a key, it must be enclosed in parentheses

See documentation on associative arrays.

So your line changes to this:

Code: Select all

mainData.insert(tempAcc, {(row) : [tempBookingDate, tempAmount]})
