Hi guys,

for some reason i called one function to save something to the list, and calling another function to load it, the load function doesn't pick up the updated list. Am i missing something??

Please help, thanks! :)

Hello hello! Please post the script (or excerpt thereof) as doing so removes a lot of ambiguity from the description of the problem. Kneejerk diagnosis: have you doublechecked the method in which you're appending new list items to the list?

for a previously declared list, foo,

foo += ["meaty fetus"];

hi,
list todo_list = []; /its empty at first

this is what i have

save(string data) {
todo_list += data;
}


load () {

for loop and loop through the list but its empty cos its still referring to the initial one
}

hope this is clear enough :)

Thanks

I think you add a list to a list. Surprised that compliles. Ah well, I might be wrong.

I usually generate the string to be added with

CODE
list toBeAdded = (list) ("[" + someString + "]");

oh my god, i'm just being stupid,

i called the save function with the empty list everytime, i shouldn't have passed in the list as one of the parameters, just the new data.


haha, thanks for the help guys.
