I’m working with 837. The file that I am working with is missing the 2310B section. (The file contains 2310A and 2310D). 2310B is the section I am trying to recreate by copying 2420A and inserting it into the area where 2310B should occur.
I am working the file thru a tcl procedure. I wasn’t sure how to attack the problem. I suppose I could read thru the file, and for every occurrance of 2420A, save the information in a list/array. Then, I can read thru the file again, and for each occurrance of 2310D, I can insert the next item on the list/array just in front of thethe 2310D loop, and append the new file into another list.
I’m more fluent in C++ than in Tcl, are there any advantages/disadvantages to using lists vs arrays? Are Arrays in Tcl the same as in C++?
