Reverse a list

[dunbarx at aol.com]

When you split data into an array, you cannot use any "clear" techniques to process that data, like a repeat loop. You can work with the keys of the array, but not the enclosing named array itself.


The number of lines of the named array will always be 0, because the data lies at least one "layer" down. When you drill into its elements, things start to come back to life.

Mark,

It makes it faster, but it doesn’t return any data. :-)

The number of lines in p = 0

Cheers
