Still can't have the output tied back to the input array.

The only use cases for that, though, are modifying data in a data store or a front panel control.  For the former, you would be reading from and writing to the same place (global, functional global, single element queue, etc.).  For the latter, you would be using a local variable.

That sounded like a question a text-based programmer would ask (and that a G programmer would ask sarcastically)...my response was for the benefit of text-based programmers stumbling upon this thread someday in the future.  😉

Ah, but in the utopian future there will be no text-based programmers. Hey, we can dream, can't we?

Darren,

Thanks, this is just what I needed. Hope everyone takes a look at the structure you linked to
