Cannot convert data of type string[] to type string

[GDC]

listRelatives returns an array, although it may not look like it. It may be a single element array. So in order to do what your doing you need to do this:

$parentNames[$v]=$tempNameHolder[0];

--g

hi again :)


the error is that $tempNameHolder is declared as a string array.

try this:

string $tempNameHolder[] = `listRelatives -p $word`;
$parentName[$v] = $tempNameHolder[0];


a good way of coding in mel is to always declare your variables, so you won't have surprises about their type.

that should help :)
