Problem with component-definition in a loop
-
hello ruby friends,
i took 2 weeks off to study some programminmg guides etc. for ruby. i could solve some variable-problems, but i cannot find a solution for the following:i want to define some master-components, which are copied later in the routine as instances.
this works well, when i define one component after each other (linear).
this all happens in one routine like this:def_programm
define compo 1
define compo 2
define compo 3some other tasks
copy compo 1 to instance .....
copy compo 2 to instance .....
copy compo 3 to instance .....end
BUT
when i try to make the component definition within a LOOP and define the compnent'S name as ARRAY,
the components are again created, ok, but the creation of INSTANCES report, that they cannot find a deleted master component.so it seems, that the components made within a loop are not visible for the rest of the program.
i am not sure, if i could explain my problem. in one other topics i was said, i should post the parts of programm code in some special way: could someone tell me, how to do it?
until then, here is the loop for the component - creation:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELPING.

See the BBcode help page
You need to use the [ code ] ... [/code ] bbCodes around your code example and it will look like this:
[code:11ffgczd]Some example code;
a = [1,2,3]
last = a.pop
puts last[/code:11ffgczd]
