Unable to find string

Anthony,

 

 

Odds are your @cr array contains the correct values (You can always check by turning on the soap debugging) but I'm not sure why you are trying to reference the internal values with named indexes? The method signature is as follows:

 

 

boolean[][] LocalLB::Class::find_string_class_member(
    in StringClass[] class_members
);

 

 

This returns a 2-dimensional array of booleans. The first dimension is for each class_member passed in the class_members variable and the second dimension is for each string specified in that class_member to search from. You are either going to have to reference the array elements with a foreach statement or directly via array indexes.

 

 

Here's some sample code that should work. I'm just referencing the array elements by numerical index. Since I'm only passing in a single string, I'm hardcoding the array indexes to 0 and 0.

Hope this helps...

That worked like a charm!

 

Thanks Joe!
