Doug – Thanks tons! I’ve been searching for a few days on code to dynamically reference field names that change by increments of 1 (i.e., data.signal_1, data.signal_2) and until now I was trying, unsuccessfully to index them via EVAL with a for loop. Your code is simpler and makes much more sense! Thanks Tons.

@Prabhakar,

If I got one person to avoid unneeded EVALS, then this was all worth it! :)

Christos,

Thanks for letting me know. I never know what videos really help people unless I read goodness like this in the comments.

Thanks,
Doug

Thanks, another excellent post.

And timely too. Actually I had a similar problem a few days ago and had addressed it with a switch/case statement.

After your post though, I changed it and the code is now much better: more compact, less error-prone and easier to change (if needed).

Too bad I hadn’t read it on time.

Thanks Doug, I am sure I will be learning greatly here and hope to deliver better tutorials in near future.
