Array doesn't work...

Hallo!
You might laugh because of that post, but I'm not able to find the reason why it doesn't work...

I just want to create an infobox and safe the input to some variables...

Here is the code and Sketchup's comment in the debugger:

prompts = ["Bildhöhe", "Bildbreite", "Bilder pro Sekunde", "Filmdauer in Sekunden", "Ausgabename"] 
default = [  "800",         "800",           "25",                  "60",             "Ablauf" ]
aufnahmebox = UI.inputbox prompts, default, "Ablaufsimulation mit statischer Ansicht"
hoehe = aufnahmebox[0].to_i
breite= aufnahmebox[1].to_i
fps=aufnahmebox[2].to_i
dauer = aufnahmebox[3].to_i
name = aufnahmebox[4]

load "C:/Users/tim/Desktop/array.rb"
Error: #<SyntaxError: (eval):4:in `load': C:/Users/tim/Desktop/array.rb:1: syntax error, unexpected tCONSTANT, expecting ']'
...pts = ["Bildhöhe", "Bildbreite", "Bilder pro Sekunde", "Film...

Thanks for your time.

Try this

def test
    prompts = ["Bildhoehe; ", "Bildbreite; ", "Bilder pro Sekunde; ", "Filmdauer in Sekunden; ", "Ausgabename; "]
    defaults = [800, 800, 25, 60, "Ablauf" ]
    aufnahmebox = UI.inputbox(prompts, defaults, "Ablaufsimulation mit statischer Ansicht")
    hoehe = aufnahmebox[0]
    breite= aufnahmebox[1]
    fps=aufnahmebox[2]
    dauer = aufnahmebox[3]
    name = aufnahmebox[4]
end

See how I removed the accented letter 'ö' and used a 'oe'. Ruby/SUp isn't good with some 'accents' in some circumstances.
'Bildhoehe' now works fine...
Also note how I have removed the "" from the values you want as integers and made them integers initially - that way you can't try to use anything that isn't an integer as your input...
I've also put the arguments for inputbox inside () - recommended but not fatal otherwise [yet]...

That'd most likely be because different character encoding in the .rb file from SU. SU uses Unicode, UTF-8 encoded in it's interface. Should be find to pass on UTF-8 data, but it needs to be properly encoded.
(though I'm not sure if you can run .rb files in UTF-8 - so one might need to write the strings in a UTF-8 file and change the encoding (don't convert, just change) in the editor - which should give you some extra funny looking characters.

Might be easier to manage and reduce risk if you store them strings in an external UTF-8 encoded text file and load them from there.

Works!
Thank you!
