Using the binary search function on structured data.

[RayYates]

Does the binary search function only work on "simple" arrays without members?
miva_array_binarysearch( key, array var, callback, data var )

Don't know, you should go ask that Ray guy who put together mivascript.com :)

I'll do that. Do you know how I can get in touch?

I wrote this to create a simple array that can be searched. It returns a new array by reference to structure member values so it uses less memory and in theory should be faster than making a copy of the data. Maybe someone else has a better idea.

<MvFUNCTION NAME = "SimpleArrayfromStructure" PARAMETERS = "structure var, member, simple var">
    <MvCOMMENT>
        Extract a member from a structured array and return a simple array by reference
        Returns the number if items in the arrays
    </MvCOMMENT>
    <MvFOREACH ITERATOR = "l.item" ARRAY = "l.structure" INDEX = "l.pos">
        <MvREFERENCE NAME = "{ 'l.simple[' $ l.pos $ ']' }" VARIABLE = "{ 'l.item:' $ l.member  }">
    </MvFOREACH>
    <MvFUNCTIONRETURN VALUE = "{ l.pos - 1 }">
</MvFUNCTION>
