Get Name of Array and append it to another Array

Description

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to get the name of an array and to append this name itself to another array.

In my example: have an array called "Top":

Top = #{858..859, 2022..2024, 2050..2052, 2070..2076, 2078}

What I would like to do is append "Top" to an array like this:

MainArray = #("Left","Right","Top",...)

Mark bitarray

The "Top" is not a name of array (don't have this property) or array.
It is a simple bitarray.
Use this example:

TopBitArr = #{858..859, 2022..2024, 2050..2052, 2070..2076, 2078}--bitarray --if you need array then do: TopArr = TopBitArr as array

--MULTIDIMENSIONAL_ARRAY
MainArray = #(#("Left",#{}),#("Right",#{}),#("Top",TopBitArr))
--End to get array back:
MainArray[3][1]--name
MainArray[3][2]--bitarray

Cool.

Thank you very much! I entered into the world of multidimensional arrays without being aware of it.

See "DataPair Values" topic in MaxScript Help.
This is also good solution for solving these kind of problem
