string $objects[] = sort(`ls -sl -l`);
string $objects[] = `ls -sl -l`;

If I use one of these arrays in my code, it works nicely.
But, if I try using an if command to switch between the making of the array, I just get a bunch of errors.
I've tried declaring the array almost everywhere in the script, but it wont work.
It seems like maya wants to process the info below my if command before anything else!!
How can it be solved?

The sketchy code:
if ($sortobj == 1) {
string $objects[] = sort(`ls -sl -l`);
}
else {
string $objects[] = `ls -sl -l`;
}

You'll probably want to declare the $objects[] string array outside of the {}. Otherwise it won't be visible to anything else.

Try this:

int $sortobj = 1;
string $objects[];

if ($sortobj == 1) {
$objects = sort(`ls -sl -l`);
}
else {
$objects = `ls -sl -l`;
}

for ($o in $objects)
print ($o + "\n");


Seems to work.

I had declared it, but I wrote my code with too many brackets
string $objects[];
$objects[] = sort(`ls -sl -l`);

instead of
string $objects[];
$objects = sort(`ls -sl -l`);

Thanks again!!
