<div class="markdown_content"><p>Hello all, I have an array of objects, lets say MyArray<span>[1..x]</span> of Object.</p> <p>When programming I want to have a more "readable" way of addressing each object. Instead of saying MyArray<span>[1]</span> := ...etc. I would like to say MyReadableName :=...</p> <p>I've looked into references, but I'm worried a bit about the whole pointer stuff. How could I do this in a good way and support online change? And where should I put the declaration and assignment of the references, it could be many many hundreds, and I don't want to clutter the Main VAR window when in online mode?</p> <p>Another thing I've looked at is having an enum with the readable names and using this as an index into the array. The lookup is then MyArray<span>[Enum.MyReadableName]</span> :=... but I'm not sure if thats is a good solution. </p> <p>Any solutions or hints are very welcome! Thanks!</p></div>
