Array to Datamap?
It seems like this should work but doesn't quite seem to..? Trying to work with datamaps
Specifically the errors come out as "This datamap has a data name without a value"
I know I could just manually put in everything word by word, but I'm trying to use datamap dynamically so may not know the array length - any way of converting from an array of strings into a datamap, if you don't know the exact size of the array?
1. (set: $commandParams to (a: "aparam0", "avalue0", "aparam1", "avalue1"))
2. (print: $commandParams's 1st)=aparam0 (print: $commandParams's 2nd)=aparam1
3. (print: (datamap: "dparam0", "dvalue0", "dparam1", "dvalue1")'s "dparam0")=dvalue0
4. (print: (datamap: $commandParams)'s "aparam0")=gives an error
5s. (set: $datamap0 to (datamap: "dparam0", "dvalue0", "dparam1", "dvalue1"))
5p. correct: {(print: $datamap0)}
6s. (set: $datamap1 to (datamap: $commandParams))
6p. error:0 = {(print: $datamap1)}
