Hi All,

  Request your help, Is it possible to an template array something similar as below so that we can insert any type of value(string, int etc). If possible can you provide me a example of how to define such array.

Array!(Tuple!(T n))

Variant can hold any type, so you can store whatever you want in the array.  To get stuff out, though, you'll need to use .get with the proper type, e.g.:

	Variant[] array;
	array ~= 123;
	array ~= "abc";

	int i = array[0].get!int;
	string s = array[1].get!string;

.get will throw an exception if the boxed type is not compatible with the requested type, e.g.:

	// This will throw an Exception because array[1] doesn't hold an
	// int.
	int i = array[1].get!int;

Do you  mean 'an array of variable types of tuples'.

If so...good luck with that ;-)

well, this sort of gets there ;-)
