Building arrays of arrays in Studio

[evilpenguin]

So here's what I'm trying to do, and keep in mind that my java knowledge is pretty limited.

I have a directory with a bunch of files in it and I want to read each file, pull out 4 pieces of data, and then make a table entry for each file that has access the data I just read out. So basically, I'm good on creating an array of strings that contains all of the data I want out of the file with DataUnion, but I'm confused about how I can make an array of those arrays and then make a table out of it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure there are other ways to do it, but one possibility would be to create a grouping -- each file is the a key in the group & the file's data is what is added as the value(s) for the key. Check out AddToGrouping() & GetSubgroup(). You can also use Sort on the group to sort by key values. There are some other java functions to do more with the group, if needed.

You can feed the group to the table & each table element will be the the filename key. Then, you could use that key to get the subgroup data for each table item/filename.

That sounds perfect. I assume there are some group examples in the default STV so I'll check them out tonight. Thanks Andy!
