Array Size with Input-Terminal to choose dimension.

[nounours77]

The "Array Size" Function returns an ARRAY of all dimensions (even for a 1-dim array!). Very, very often, I'm interested only to know ONE of the dimensions. I normally do "Array size" - "array to cluster" (with the cluster set to the number of dimensions) - "unbundle cluster"  => wich is very clumsy.

Why not make the "Array size" customisable, e.g. with a double click like the "array to cluster" to indicate which dimension I want to know. If "all" is choosen, an array is returned as today. If "2" is choosen, the 3rd dimension is returned just as an integer value ...

would be great!

This is incorrect. For a 1D array, a scalar, not an array is returned.

Well, this really is clumsy!! A better way is a simple index array resized to the correct number of outputs. If you only want one of the dimensions, use index array with only one output and with a specific index wired.

There is also this idea, which seems quite nice for some specific scenarios.

For 2D arrays, you can also use the matrix size function.
