ta
(mkarray)
A sophisticated yet simple way to build an array of a user defined data-type
Description
Murex has a pretty sophisticated builtin for generating arrays. It works a little bit like Bash's {1..9}
syntax but includes a few additional nifty features and the output format is user defined.
Usage
ta data-type [start..end] -> <stdout>
ta data-type [start..end.base] -> <stdout>
ta data-type [start..end,start..end] -> <stdout>
ta data-type [start..end][start..end] -> <stdout>
Examples
» ta json [1..5]
[
"1",
"2",
"3",
"4",
"5"
]
» ta json [Monday..Sunday]
[
"Monday",
"Tuesday",
"Wednesday",
"Thursday",
"Friday",
"Saturday",
"Sunday"
]
Please note that as per the first example, all arrays generated by ta
are arrays of strings - even if you're command is ranging over integers. Also if you are only creating arrays in JSON then you could use ja
instead.
Detail
Please read the documentation on a
for a more detailed breakdown on of ta
's supported features.
