[Maya-Melscript] How would I set Values on an Array of attributes? (Using an array of values)

StephenVyas

Hi guys,
Say, I have two Arrays. 
     A name array
     A value array

I'd like to change the values of the nameArray, by using the values from the valueArray.
Essentially this...
setAttr nameArray[0] valueArray[0];
setAttr nameArray[1] valueArray[1];

Unfortunately, I only know how to access or move through one array at a time.

say we have this...

string $nameArray[] = {"object.attribute0", "object.attribute1", "etc..."};
string $valueArray[] = {"0","1", "etc...."};

proc $setattrOnNameArray(string $nameArray[], string $valueArray[]){

      for ($node in $nameArray){
      $node = `setAttr $node $valueArray[0... I'd like to increase this number to correspond with the next node];

      }

}

How would I go about doing this.. Any ideas?

Something like this:

$loop = 0;
for ($node in $nameArray){
$node = `setAttr $node $valueArray[$loop]`;
$loop = `$loop + 1`;
}

ahhh of course.. Thanks Polyhertz!!

There's also this format of for loop which is all defined together.  I personally prefer this one when I need to utilize individual array indices

string $array[] = { "A", "B", "C" };
for ($i=0; $i<`size $array`; ++$i) {
     warning $array[$i];
}

oh nice, that'll be useful too!
