add items from a list to an array in E-prime

[Ben Robinson]

something along these lines should work:

Dim i as Integer
Dim array(List1.Size-1) as String

For i=1 to List1.Size
  array(i-1) = List1.GetAttrib i, "ColumnName"
Next i

Hi!

I have a question about arrays that I cannot really figure out on my own. 
I have a variable with a number of items in a list. I want these items added to an array in the beginning of the experiment because I want to search through the array through out the course of the experiment, e.g. "If the subjects response in the array then do X, otherwise do Y". I have no problems with the code for searching the array. But I do have problems with adding all of the items in the list to an array in an economical fashion. 
I have set up a trial procedure with an inline script so the experiment goes through all the items in the list, one by one, and adding them to the array. But this generates a lot of saved trials and the datafile gets messy (of course I can filter the data file, but still....). Is there any way to, in one big fat step, just add a whole list of items to an array, without using any trialprocedure, but just referring to the list?
