Q: Indexing arrays with variable # dimensions [message #4810] Thu, 10 August 1995 00:00

i want to index an array with a number of dimensions that is not known
until runtime.
Creation of array:
a = intarr(dimsize^dimnumber)
dimidx = intarr(dimnumber) + dimsize
a = reform(a, dimidx)

Now i want to set an element of a to a certain value.
eg. a(3,2,4,3) = 7 (for dimnumber = 4)

how can i store this index list to make the asignment work?
i've tried idx=[3,2,4,3] & a(idx) =7 but this of course does not work.


Can anyone help?


Thanks in advance,

Tim
