compare two arrays

[rmarks12]

I have two arrays such as these

Array 1                          Array 2

a      1

a      5                                 a

b      2                                 b

c      3                                 f

d      4                                 g

e      5                                 h

f       6

g      7

g      10

h      8

h      9/

with what i have now i can create an array that lists the matching elements

Results:

a          1

b          2

f           6

g          7

h          8

However, it does not record both sets of a,g, and h, only the first instance. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Any help is appreciated

OpenG has a search function that returns an array of all occurrences, not just the first one.  That, and a For loop, solves your problem.  If you don't wish to install OpenG, you can make your own function that loops through a 1D array and returns all of the hits.

So if i dont install open g how would i do this?

Thank you

A FOR loop inside of another FOR loop should do the trick.  Have the outer loop autoindex on the search parameters and the inner loop autoindex on the search array.  On a match, add that item to the list.

That's okay we were all new at some point.  If you have an question about a function in particular you can open the context help (CTRL + H) and over over a function to learn more.  Also here is some free training if you are interested.
