hi all ... this is my first post to the list. so, as you would guess, i'm new to chuck.

Hi, Eli!

this will assign i[] as values of column i(1), but is there a way w/o the function?

I think this is the core question, right? I don't think so, I think you need a function. The thing is that 2d arrays can be seen as a "array of arrays" or a array where every element is a array as well. Returning one element (a 1d array) is easy but returning a element from every element is more complicated and hence needs a function.

There is, BTW, a real difference between "assignment" and copying a array element by element, your function here copies.

Hope that clarifies things a bit?

Yours,
Kas.
