This script provides various array manipulation functions, and more might be added in the future. All of those functions (except the arithmetic ones) work with both integer and string arrays. The start of the array is always implicitly index 0, unless an index is specified, ie @array[index] array_pad(<array>, <size>, <value>) pads the array left or right with <value> until it reaches <size> size. If <size> is negative it will pad left. > returns the number of added entries setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_pad(.@foo, 8, 69); // => 3 // array is now: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 69, 69, 69 setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_pad(.@foo, -8, 69); // => 3 // array is now: 69, 69, 69, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 array_replace(<array>, <needle>, <replacement>{, <neq>}) finds every occurrence of <needle> within the array and replaces it with <replacement>. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead > returns the number of changed entries setarray(.@foo, 1, 1, 3, 1, 5); // initialize the array array_replace(.@foo, 1, 69); // => 3 // array is now: 69, 69, 3, 69, 5 array_find(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>}) finds the first occurrence of <needle> within the array. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead > returns the index, or if none is found returns -1 setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_find(.@foo, 3); // => 2 array_find(.@foo, 1); // => 0 array_find(.@foo, 6); // => -1 array_rfind(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>}) like array_find, but finds the last occurrence. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead > returns the index, or if none is found returns -1 setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 3); // initialize the array array_rfind(.@foo, 3); // => 4 array_rfind(.@foo, 4); // => 3 array_rfind(.@foo, 6); // => -1 array_exists(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>}) very similar to array_find() but it instead just checks if it exists or not. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead > returns true or false setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_exists(.@foo, 3); // => true array_exists(.@foo, 6); // => false array_count(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>}) similar to array_find() but iterates through the whole array. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead > returns the total number of occurrences of <needle> setarray(.@foo, 1, 69, 3, 69, 5); // initialize the array array_count(.@foo, 69); // => 2 array_entries(<array>) a wrapper around array_count(). behaves similarly to getaraysize() but does not count holes > returns the number of non-empty entries setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 0, 0, 5); // initialize the array getarraysize(.@foo); // => 5 array_entries(.@foo); // => 3 array_remove(<array>, <needle>{, <neq>}) finds and removes every occurrence of <needle> from the array, while shifting left. if <neq> is true, finds entries that do not match instead > returns the number of removed entries setarray(.@foo, 1, 69, 3, 69, 5); // initialize the array array_remove(.@foo, 69); // => 2 // array is now: 1, 3, 5 array_reverse(<array>) reverses the array > returns true setarray(.@foo, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5); // initialize the array array_reverse(.@foo);
