I'm reading some text records from file and have a simple struct to hold records:


struct Rec
{
  string[] fileLines;
}


Rec someRecords;
string someText;


to append a new record I'm doing this:

someRecords ~= Rec();
someRecords.fileLines ~= someText;

but feel there might be a way to condense this to a single statement.. but how?

Sorry about cat-on-keyboard posting-error (again!).

You could condense them this way:

someRecords ~= Rec([someText]);


The Rec() can take arguments for the initial values, so an array starting with the someText should be cool

Yep, I realise that but couldn't figure out the syntax.... and I'm not sure I like it now that you've told me! :D

Thanks once again
