Description

The TOARRAY() function is used to create a fixed array and load it with the contents of the specified dynamic array or object, <object>. The array returned by the TOARRAY() function can then be manipulated using the fixed array processing functions.

If the second parameter is specified as a non zero numeric, the array created will be 2D where the first element is the member name and the second its' value. This was added in Lianja 7.0.

Example

myobj = object()
myobj.companyname = "Lianja Inc"
myobj.website = "www.lianja.com"
 
myfixed = toarray(myobj)
? astring(myfixed)
 
// Output
Lianja Inc,www.lianja.com
