 Posted: Mon Dec 22, 2003 11:14 pm Post subject: Reindex routine |
 |
|
I have a reindexing routine that I want to make more general, but I can't
think a way to pass the parameter the routine needs.
Here is how I call the reindexing routine :
if ReindexTable(MyTable) then
.................
and this is my function definition:
function ReindexTable(aTable: TTable): boolean;
begin
.....
end;
I want to be able to pick up which table I want to reindex from a list (an
array or something similar, so that I can loop through it). But if I use:
ReindexTable(TablesList[1])
this gives an error, since TablesList[1] is a string, while aTable is a
TTable type. How can I circumvent this problem ? I guess the solution is not
difficult, but I am after a different problem still unsolved and I fell a
bit lost. So perhaps someone can help get me up again...

Instead of storing strings, store TTable references. Or, if you
absolutely must store strings, write another funtion that returns a
TTable object that a given string represents.
function StringToTable(const S: string): TTable;
Without knowing more about either the strings or the tables, that's
about the best I can do.

Well, until you tell someone what that different problem is, I suspect
it is going to _remain_ unsolved.

// reindexes all passed tables, returns -1 if sucessful, otherwise index of
table with problem
// usage: ReindexTables ([table1, table2])

function ReindexTables (const theTables : array of tTable) : integer;
begin
result := High (theTables);
while (result >= Low (theTables)) and ReIndexTable (theTables [result]) do
dec (result);
end;

Otherwise, what Rob said.
