[Closed] Appending to an Array?

I think, this appends only the variable shapeAll into the array, not each Shape-object. I would try this:

shps=#()
append shps #($Shape_*)

Edit: Updated Code.

Use collect to loop through the objects and create an array on the fly:

shps = for obj in $Shape_* collect obj

Or:

shps = $Shape_* as array

And to add more objects to this array later on, you can use the join function to merge two arrays:

join shps (for obj in $Blah_* collect obj)

Thanks a lot guys for all the solutions

an alternative to ‘join’ that you might encounter is += ;

a = #(1,2,3)
#(1, 2, 3)
b = #(4,5,6)
#(4, 5, 6)
a += b
#(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

a
#(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)

This mostly finds use when you don’t want to work on the array in-place;

a = #(1,2,3)
 #(1, 2, 3)
 b = #(4,5,6)
 #(4, 5, 6)
 c = a+b
#(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
c
#(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
a
#(1, 2, 3)

Question again. Appending in the array worked fine using collect. I get an error though when i try to run the rest of the code. If you guys can help it would be great. Thanks again.

Code:
fn zeroOutControllers=
(
local
shpsPR= for obj in $Shape_* collect obj

 -- Zero Out Position and Rotation Controllers for all the Control Shapes
 for i = 1 to 62 do
 (
     -- Zero Out Position
     posL= position_list()
     shpsPR[i].position.controller= posL
     shpsPR[i].position.controller.available.controller= position_xyz()
     posL.setactive 2
     posL.setname 1 "Zero"
     posL.setname 2 "Animation"
     
     -- Zero Out Rotation
     rotL= rotation_list()
     shpsPR[i].rotation.controller= rotL
     shpsPR[i].rotation.controller.available.controller= euler_xyz()
     rotL.setactive 2
     rotL.setname 1 "Zero"
     rotL.setname 2 "Animation"
 )

)

OK

Never mind guys, everything is fine. Thanks everyone
