Hello
I have created a call logging system which saves all the details into an array file. this all appeared to work until today.
my array stores the data using a single string for each call and then each string is split up using the string tokenizer. The problem i have is that some of the fields in the system were not being completed and this resulted in two of the delimeters used by the tokenizer being placed next to each other. I am now unable to read the values in the array correctly as some of the entries are out of sync.
I need to edit the array so that the delimeters next to each other now have a " " in them.
anybody got any ideas? I have already tried to use the editors on this site with no luck. My array entries look like this
Name€Room€Details€Date Logged€Date Closed€Resolution€Status
The broken ones read:
Name€€Details€Date Logged€Date Closed€Resolution€Status
I need to place a space in where room should be to fix this. Hope this makes sense to everyone.

Couldn't you just start all of your alterable strings as " " instead of "".
And if the data can be manualy edited and you fear it could get back to "" ...
if Alterable String A( "Active" ) = ""
Set Alterable String A to " "

You can edit array in game, with debugger. Then just save it. I m not really sure what you want...

You could make a simple little program to replace "€€" with "€ €" automatically, using the "substring replace" extension.
+ Start of frame
-> Load array...
-> Start fastloop "Fix Array", DimX("Array") * DimY("Array") times.
+ On loop "Fix Array"
-> Array: Set string at...
String to Write = ReplaceSubstring$( "Substring Replace", StrAtXY( "Array", LoopIndex("Fix Array") mod DimX( "Array" ), LoopIndex("Fix Array")/DimX( "Array" )), "€€", "€ €")
X Index = LoopIndex("Fix Array") mod DimX( "Array" )
Y Index = LoopIndex("Fix Array") / DimX( "Array" )
+ Run this event once
-> Save array...
Or you could use the dynamic array extension to export the contents of the array as a .csv file, and then manually edit it in Excel or Notepad.
I never knew you could edit arrays using the debugger - how useful 
If you have MMF2Dev, the Datagrid extension would be even better though.

Thanks sketchy, i'll look into this. For those of you who were unsure:
I have got an array full of data already however some of the items are being misread by my application as the delimiters i am using in the array data are next to each other and thus not being picked up. I can't use ; as this could be a character used in the data being stored that is why i went for something obscure like €.
