ARR.Pack Array to Var Delimiter/ ARR.pavd
Packs the entire array into a variable.
Intention
The ARR.Pack Array to Var Delimiter Command, also known as ARR.pavd, is designed to pack the entire array into a variable.
This is useful for storing the state of an array for later use. The packed data is binary and should be handled carefully.
•Array Packing: The Command packs the entire array specified by P1 into a Variable, in binary format.
•Data Types: The packed data is binary and should be handled with care, especially because it may contain accidental variable names.
•Result Placement: If P2 is omitted, the packed array is placed on the TOS.
To restore the Packed Array from the Variable, use:
ARR.Unpack Array from Var Delimiter|P1|P2|P3
Syntax
ARR.Pack Array to Var Delimiter|P1|P2[|P3]
ARR.Pavd|P1|P2[|P3]
Parameter Explanation
•P1 - Array Number: Specifies the array number, which can range from 0 to 32.
•P2 - Delimiter-String Should be a String that itself will NOT occur in the Arrays.
•P3 - Output Variable (Optional): Specifies the variable that will receive the packed array. If omitted, the packed array is placed on the TOS.
