Looking for the documentation on the newest versions of SIL Engine and the Simple Issue Language for Jira 8 for Server/Data Center?Ā Click hereĀ !

Ā This section contains routines that enable users to handle arrays.

Routines summary

  • arrayAddElement ā€” If elem is an element of the array type, returns a new array that includes the specified element at the end.
  • arrayAddElementIfNotExist ā€” If elem is an element of the array type, returns a new array that includes the specified element at the end. The element is added only if it is not already in the array.
  • arrayDeleteElement ā€” If elem is an element of the array type, returns a new array without the specified element.
  • arrayDeleteElementAt ā€” If index is less than the array size, returns a new array without the element at the specified index.
  • arrayDiff ā€” Difference between two arrays. Returns the elements from the first array that do not exist in the second array.
  • arrayElementExists ā€” Returns "true" if the element exists in the array and "false" otherwise.
  • arrayFind ā€” Finds an element inside the collection and returns its index. If the element is not found, it returns -1.
  • arrayFindBinary ā€” Binary search on sorted array. If the element is not found, returns -1.
  • arrayGetElement ā€” Returns the element at the specified index.
  • arrayIntersect ā€” Intersect between two arrays.
  • arrayKeys ā€” Returns the keys of the array, if array is using the new syntax in version 2.5.
  • arrayKeySort ā€” Sorts the elements from an array by their keys. Works with keyed arrays only.
  • arraysConcat ā€” Adds the elements of the second array to the first one.
  • arraySetElement ā€” If elem is an element of the array type, returns a new array with the specified element on position index1. If index1 is greater than the array size, it will add empty elements on the missing positions.
  • arraySize ā€” Returns the size of the given array.
  • arraySort ā€” Sorts the elements from an array.
  • arrayStructSort ā€” Sorts the elements from an array by their specified field. Works only with arrays that contain structures.
  • arrayToSet ā€” Converts an array to a set of unique elements.
  • arrayUnion ā€” Union between two arrays.
  • excludeSubarray ā€” Returns an array excluding the array that starts at index 'start' and ends at index 'end'.
  • subarray ā€” Returns an array starting with index 'start' and ending at index 'end'.

Notes

  • Arrays are created by using this construct: {<value1>, <value2>, ..., <value3>}
  • Multi-dimensional arrays are supported.
