Scripting question - is there a ptRecord parameter type?

[ahonoe]

I'm looking to output a parameter that contains several data types including floats, integers and strings. I'm reading that Pascal supports this through the record data type but I need to pass these records between scripts (via a bus).

Can anyone tell me if there is such a thing as a "ptRecord" parameter type in hh? If not, can I use the ptOther paramter to output this data type?

afaik no, man can only output data types that are avaible as 'wires' when patching to be transfered between modules, tho im not aware of the ptOther use.
maybe writing/loading textfile parser could be one solution, or converting to comma text with tags.. but feel would be easier to output several arrays and commatexts instead.

Thanks for getting back to me on this 23fx23. I'm using string lists as a workaround but converting the data types is quite inefficient so I thought I would check.

yes, I remember writing a multiplexer and demultiplexer under V5, because I needed to insure all data sent on a buss arrived at the same time.... I used arrays, since the data were all numerical....

Thanks woodslanding. I've switched from string lists to arrays of like data types.
