Examples

Example Part 1 - Data for structs

Assume we have a CSV file containing a list of toys. There is a column for the toy name and another for the toys color.

name, color
Airplane, White
Bouncy Ball, Blue
Car, Red
Dog, Brown
Elephant, Gray
...

Example Part 2 - Populating structs

With the given CSV data we can quickly populate an array of structs.

//define struct
struct _toy {
 	   string name;
    	 string color;
}

//create struct array and populate from csv
_toy [] toys = readFromCSVFile("toysList.csv", true);

Example Part 3 - Mapping the struct array

Now that we have a list of structs we can map them to one of the fields.

toysstring [] attachmentsCreatedToday;

for(string a in attachments) {
    string [] file = arrayStructMapfileInfo(getAttachmentPath(toyskey, "name"a));
//mapping each array element todate thecreated name field

return toys["Bouncy Ball"].color; //element can be retrieved by name now that is has been mapped= parseDate("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss", file["created"]);

    if(created > startOfDay(currentDate())) {
        attachmentsCreatedToday += a;
    }
}

return attachmentsCreatedToday;

Result: "Blue"
